Wednesday, October 23 - The Birthday Present

The Birthday Present (1957)

Tony Britton is the top salesman of his toy manufacturer. On a selling trip to Germany, he finds some German goods and arranges for a contract for his company to manufacture them, if his boss agrees. He's also bought a nice diamond watch for wife Sylvia Sym's birthday. He tries to smuggle it past customs, but fails. When he goes before a magistrate, he's not assessed costs and penalties. He's thrown into prison for two months. When the directors of his company find out, they insist on his firing, despite his boss's protests. . .
