Raising the Wind is a 1961 British comedy film directed by Gerald Thomas and starring James Robertson Justice, Leslie Phillips, Kenneth Williams, Liz Fraser, Eric Barker and Sid James. The storyline, screenplay and musical score of the film were by Bruce Montgomery.

Production

The producers of the film credit the Sinfonia of London for their assistance.

The exterior of the music school is filmed at University College, London, which also doubled for St Swithin's hospital in several of the Doctor films.

The recital section of the film was based on anecdotes told to Bruce Montgomery by Eric Coates about the formation of the Celtic String Quartet, who performed only one concert, beset by disasters.
