    Norman Wisdom relives a little of his youth in this hopelessly sentimental comedy, as his first job at just 13 was as a delivery boy. This was his final film in black and white and also his last big starring success at the box office, for he belonged to a more innocent age. The script sticks closely to the winning Wisdom formula as he knots his cap in confused shyness in his attempts to declare his love for a pretty nurse. Stalwart stooges Edward Chapman (Mr Grimsdale, of course) and Jerry Desmonde prove once more that straight men can often be much funnier than the comics.

    • Radio Times
  • Thin star slapstick; all one can say is that it's marginally preferable to Jerry Lewis.

    good old slapstick comedy.my kids love this better than any other american comedies ever since i introduced them to normans films.Lots of people seem to have something against norman but the truth is in my opinion that he is was and still is a comic genius.
