A Pair of Briefs is a 1962 black and white British courtroom comedy film directed by Ralph Thomas and starring Michael Craig, Mary Peach, Brenda De Banzie and James Robertson Justice.

Stevens' case, sitting alongside Sir John, relates to a house of ill-repute run by a Gale Tornado who employs various exotic dancers.

Stevens gets his room-mate Hubert to pass him the opposing brief and therefore advocates for the other side, Sid Pudney, the man whom she claims is her husband but who denies that they were ever married.

[2] Stevens, seeing how upset she is, joins her in this, but in their zeal, they offend the presiding judge, Mr Justice Haddon, who tells them that he intends to have them severely disciplined.

He called it "a dismal comedy" in which he and Mary Peach "did our best but the material was pretty thin and in spite of some extraordinary overacting by Ron Moody... and Brenda de Banzie, there weren't many laughs.

Ralph Thomas's heavy-handed touch is most evident in his direction of Mary Peach and Michel Craig, stiff and uninteresting as the two legal innocents at court.
