Make Me an Offer is a 1954 Eastmancolor British comedy film directed by Cyril Frankel and starring Peter Finch as an antique dealer.
On a childhood trip to the British Museum, Charlie (Peter Finch), falls in love with a green Portland vase, and his passion for it leads to him eventually becoming an antique dealer. Years later and struggling in his profession, Charlie finds a Portland Wedgewood vase gathering dust in the attic of a country house up for auction. Unfortunately for Charlie, others are also aware of the vases's value.
TV Guide dismissed the film as "About as much fun as watching a grandfather clock"; whereas Sky Movies called it an "Engaging comedy," with an "amusing script," concluding, "Far from least, there's that splendid veteran Ernest Thesiger, here as a great-great-grandfather whose past life has not been exactly without reproach..."; and The New York Times noted an "unpretentious British comed(y)."
