My mother took me to see this at the cinema and I enjoyed it then and I enjoyed today when it was on the Talking Pictures channel. The premise was pinched recently for the Sheridan Smith series 'Cleaning Up' although not a comedy like this one. It's a typical 60's B&W comedy that could sit alongside the Carry On films with a wealth of British comedy talent of the day led by Robert Morley and Peggy Mount with Harry H Corbett as the villain of the piece.
I really disliked Peggy Mount when she was Ada Larkin in 'The Larkins' she was so horrible to David Kossoff, as a 6 year old at the time I didn't understand she was acting. So one day on holiday on the Norfolk broads she was having lunch with Pat Combs in the hotel we were staying in. My father said go in and ask her for an autograph so I went up and said 'Please Lady Mount, can I have your autograph?' she was so sweet and obliged, I then went back and gave her mine, she laughed saying it was the first time anyone had given on back.
Lovely lady, lovely film.
