Raising a Riot is a 1955 British comedy film directed by Wendy Toye and starring Kenneth More, Shelagh Fraser and Mandy Miller about a naval officer who attempts to look after his three children in his wife's absence.

When Mary has to fly to Canada, Peter takes his children to his father's new country home, which turns out to be a windmill.

In June 1954, filming was about to start on The Alcock and Brown Story for Alexander Korda, to be directed by Ken Annakin, produced by Lord Brabourne and Ian Dalrymple and star Kenneth More and Denholm Elliott in the title roles.

[5] Lord Barbourne and Ian Dalrymple arranged with the receiver for that film's unit to be reassigned to a lower budgeted movie instead, Raising a Riot.

"[7] It was shot at Shepperton Studios near London with sets designed by the art director Joseph Bato.

Mr. More is a comical chap, particularly when he has a dog to cope with, as he had in the memorable Genevieve...Raising a Riot is an amiable little film";[13] while more recently, the Radio Times called it "an inconsequential, one-joke comedy, kept moving by the polished More, but old-fashioned and rather flat";[14] and AllMovie described how the film "goes off on several directions, many of them hilarious: some of the best scenes involve the kids' ongoing feud with a bunch of American children.

"[15] Variety wrote that: The main purpose of “Raising a Riot” appears to be to exploit the personality of Kenneth More.

It is just a single situation, moderately amusing in parts, but totally inadequate to sustain a feature pic...Within the strict limitations imposed by the script, the star does remarkably well.
