Two Guys Abroad is a British film that was made in 1962 but was never released.[2][3]
It was intended as a pilot for a TV series or as a B movie. Neither eventuated.[4][5]
Plot
A pair of Piccadilly Club owners continually get in trouble.
Cast
- George Raft
- Maxie Rosembloom
- Diane Todd
- Diana Decker

Production
The film was shot at Shepperton Studios in March 1962.[6] George Raft and Maxie Rosembloom were old friends; Raft even once owned a share in Rosembloom when the latter was a boxer.[7]
Director Don Sharp later recalled "at the time there was a fashion for these 'products'. They were made for a double purpose: as a pilot episode for a TV series; if that failed, for release as a B movie supporting the main feature. Very few of them even made the grade."[4]
Sharp says he "got on very well with George - the complete Hollywood pro. He was amiable, always ribbing Maxie; constantly doing his coin-flipping act; and likely at any moment to break into a few dance steps - for no particular reason. There is a photo of me and my camera operator on the camera dolly with George doing the grip's job and pushing it because, he said, he always wanted a real job."[4]
Filming took three weeks. "We're just aiming to make a film that will entertain people for 75 minutes or so," said Suess.[1]
