Jimmy Brewster is a working-class lad using his dynamism, natural cockiness and abundant charm to overcome any obstacles to the champagne lifestyle he craves. He has his sights firmly set on his boss's attractive daughter, Ann, and finds a perfect mentor in the form of the caddish, crooked Charlie. But just how far is Brewster prepared to go in order to get what he wants?

'Frederick Raphael based his screenplay for the underrated dark satire Nothing but the Best on Stanley Elkins’ black-humour masterpiece. Nothing but the Best takes a penetrating glance at the social climbing upper classes that use the Old School tie and is so delightfully cynical and morally ambiguous that it will have you guessing whether Bates will get his comeuppance at the end. Alan Bates displays a previously unexplored vein of comedy mannerisms as an amoral working-class wannabe, but as excellent as he is its Denholm Elliot as his aristocratic mentor that manages to steal the show. Nic Roeg’s lush photography and Clive Donner‘s slick direction superbly capture a grubbily materialist world at the heart of ‘Swinging London’ where image is everything.'
