The Big Money is a 1958 British comedy film directed by John Paddy Carstairs and starring Ian Carmichael, Belinda Lee and Kathleen Harrison.

Diana Dors was originally cast as Gloria but turned down the role because she did not want to work with Joseph Janni. Once the film was completed its release was delayed for several years because Sir John Davis did not believe it was sufficiently funny.

Synopsis

Ian Carmichael as Willie is the bad seed of a family of thieves (father James Hayter, mother Kathleen Harrison, and sister, Jill Ireland). One day he heists a briefcase from a dodgy clergyman (Robert Helpmann) which is full of pound notes. Unfortunately, the notes all have the same serial number!

Norman vit toujours dans l'orphelinat Greenwood où il a grandi et où il est devenu un employé. Un matin, alors qu'il emmène les orphelins à l'école, ils s'arrêtent devant un magasin de jouets où une voiture à moteur impressionne les enfants, et plus particulièrement le petit Jimmy. Arrivé à l'école, Norman laisse les enfants aux bons soins d'Iris Gibson, leur professeur, mais aussi l'objet de l'affection de Norman. Mais elle s'intéresse plutôt à Alec Bigley , le fils du propriétaire du terrain sur lequel l'orphelinat est construit. En fait, c'est Mary, une autre employée, qui se languit de Norman, alors qu'il ne la remarque pas.
