There Was a Crooked Man is a 1960 British comedy film directed by Stuart Burge and starring Norman Wisdom, Alfred Marks, Andrew Cruickshank, Reginald Beckwith, and Susannah York.
It is based on the James Bridie play" The Odd Legend of Schultz"; and was one of two films Wisdom made independently to extend his range( the other being" The Girl on the Boat"), although according to the BFI Screenonline website," the cinema public craved only the Gump".
The film was on general release in 1960 on the Rank circuit( supported by the documentary" Jungle Hell") to less than spectacular business before being withdrawn, allegedly after American objections to Wisdom masquerading as an arrogant US general requisitioning British land for the US Air Force.
