Wiki.
A Majority of One is a 1961 American comedy film directed by Mervyn LeRoy and starring Rosalind Russell and Alec Guinness. It was adapted from the play of the same name by Leonard Spigelgass, which was a Broadway hit in the 1959-1960 season starring Gertrude Berg and Cedric Hardwicke.
The title originates from a quote from Henry David Thoreau: "Any man more right than his neighbors, constitutes a majority of one already." Thoreau believed that the one person who is on the right side of the question counts for more than do all of the people who are on the wrong side.
