    This is a stereotyped 1950`s British stage farce, well-acted but full of rather predictable convolutions of plot. It does however include the then-unknown Audrey Hepburn`s film debut . Her tiny part lasts little over a minute but she is riveting, surely an indicator of the career to come. { Interestingly, in her single short scene, as a hotel receptionist on the phone to Stanley Holloway, she talks to him more intimately than the plot justified. This maybe confirms the story that the original plot was very different, with a much larger role for Hepburn, as the 'one wild oat' of tthe title - which was then jettisoned as being too candid and explicit for 1950`s attitudes }

  • A really wild oat

    Rated - 1.0 star  
    By Terivision (20 reviews) from Scarborough , 14 Jun 2009
    A fascinating oldie starring Stanley Holloway in good form but very dated - probably well received in it's time. Not one I'd put in my library, but an interesting delve into the British films list of the mid 20th century.
