The Dock Brief is a 1962 black-and-white British legal satire directed by James Hill, starring Peter Sellers and Richard Attenborough, and based on the 1957 play The Dock Brief by John Mortimer.

Production

Pierre Rouve wrote the script. He opened up the play for cinema by using flashbacks.

Filming took place in March and April 1962 at Shepperton Studios in London. John Mortimer said that Peter Sellers wanted to play the role in a north county accent and the director James Hill had to coax him back "to what I felt were undoubtedly... southern origins" of his character.
