The Naked Truth is a fifties' British Comedy, starring Peter Sellers and Terry Thomas, about a tabloid editor/writer/blackmailer named Nigel Dennis (played by Dennis Price ) whose four most recent victims gang up together to defeat him.

(For the 90's sitcom, see here.)

Tropes used in The Naked Truth (film) include:

Cloudcuckoolander: The Detective story writer who has a terrible time getting her hands on some Mickey Finns...
Master of Disguise: Sonny MacGregor is this, Played for Laughs
Murder Is the Best Solution: They tried, they tried!
Old Shame: The In-Story reason our four protagonists (and three hundred others!) are feeling a little frantic.
Slipping a Mickey: Four people unknowingly drink the spiked sherry together. One of whom had drunk from the very same already drugged bottles the previous day, with potent effect.
Tap on the Head : Becomes a Running Gag.

"Sorry old boy, it's for your own good." *thunk*
