British comedy film from 1980, starring Leonard Rossiter, Don Warrington and Frances De La Tour. Landlord Rigsby manages to scam his lodgers Cooper, an arts student, and Philip, an African jock, creating each pay for a room they both share. However Rigsby’s favorite lodger, Miss Jones, now flirts with each boys rather than himself, in spite of his pitiful attempts to be generous. Crossed by her still overprotective dad, she in fact prefers an affair with slick veteran Seymour, who is truly only interested in her income!
