Die tollkühnen Männer in ihren fliegenden Kisten
Alongside "How to Murder Your Wife", there were two further releases for Terry-Thomas in 1965: "Strange Bedfellows", in which he played the part of a mortician, and "Those Magnificent Men in their Flying Machines". In the latter, he played Sir Percy Ware-Armitage, a character the film historian Andrew Spicer calls "a cartoon version" of his usual persona in a "bloated mid-Atlantic comed[y]". In the film, Terry-Thomas appeared again with Sykes, an experience Sykes later described as magical. The roles of Ware-Armitage and his sidekick were written especially for Terry-Thomas and Sykes at the behest of the director Ken Annakin.
