I remember seeing this years ago, and have not heard any reference to it until now. Although it may be lowbrow & low quality for Peter Sellers, this was a movie of moments and would be excellent and very timely material for a re-make. Especially with so many cynical & mean characters around.
As I recall, Sellers is a doctor/administrator. Both he and the hospital exist to make money any possible way with no scruples. The plot follows one patient who checks in for some routine tests, lets slip that he owns a house and the bilking begins.
Seller's character also reimburses a colleague with a check that is returned by the bank. Putting it under a microscope, the words "Not Negotiable" are barely visible. "You accepted that check as payment! I owe you nothing," says Sellers.
It's more of a gem than it it gets (no) credit for.
