The Rebel (aka Call Me Genius) is a 1961 British comedy film starring Tony Hancock and written by his regular TV writers Ray Galton and Alan Simpson; Hancock is also credited with co-writing the screen story.Hancock plays a lowly accountant who, in his secret life, is also a struggling artist (struggling possibly because of his total lack of talent). Fustrated by his lack of appreciation in his home country, he flees to Paris, where he takes room with Paul (Paul Massie), a fellow struggling (although actually talented) artist. Hancock is quickly embraced by the Parisian artistic community which further disillusions Paul who gives up his artistic ambitions and goes to London. Then, the famous art critic Sir Charles Broward (George Sanders) hears of the news of a major talent... | |

Floorboard Failure | |
| The Rebel / int_1af4728b | comment |
Floorboard Failure: Hancock's sculpture masterpiece falls through his studio floor, lampshaded by his bad-tempered landlady yelling earlier that her bedroom is beneath. Hancock peers through the floor, and mutters "missed her". | |

| The Rebel / int_29e6dc40 | comment |
Hypocritical Humour: One scene features Hancock at a party complaining about how, in his former life as an accountant, everyone dressed in identical suits. This is viewed with horror by five identically dressed goths. | |

Straw Critic | |
| The Rebel / int_2b65aa76 | comment |
Straw Critic: Averted. Broward is the only one who sees through Hancock's lack of talent and recognises Paul for the real talent. Of course, there is a minor problem of mistaken identity to get past. | |

| The Rebel / int_4f62bde6 | comment |
Kavorka Man: Hancock himself. For some reason, once transplanted to Paris, he becomes irresitable to women; at one point the wife of a local gangster threatens to shoot herself over him after only knowing him for a couple of hours. | |

| The Rebel / int_c1c97b4e | comment |
Littering Is No Big Deal: As Tony Hancock crosses the English Channel from England to France, he tosses his city gent's hat and umbrella over the side of the ship. Too bad for him that he had his tickets in the hatband. | |
