    Rated - 5.0 stars

    [Highly rated reviewer]

    This film is completely hysterical and totally brilliant. I laughed so much during the final 20 minutes my mouth was hurting! Peter Sellers is brilliant in this, along with Bernard Cribbins and Lionel Geoffreys. Like all great films, the plot is very simple but so effective. Borrow this now!

  • Very funny and ludicrous

    Rated - 4.0 stars  
    By a customer , 17 Nov 2011
    Lionel Jeffries almost steals the film, but there are lots of fine actors. The plot is absurd but the film makes it work. Very enjoyable and much better than most British comedies of the period.

  • Solid Ealing-esque film

    Rated - 4.0 stars  
    By a customer from Sheffield , 15 Apr 2008
    Funny satire very much in the Ealing tradition. Not quite of the level of the Ealing's but Peter Sellers as always is very good.

  • A classic British film.

    Rated - 4.0 stars

    This is classic early Peter Sellers. For lovers of this genre also try 'I'm All Right Jack'

  • Not Peters best

    Rated - 3.0 stars  
    By a customer from Belfast , 14 Sep 2005
    This is not a bad British comedy,

    but it`s not Peter Sellers at his best.

    Still worth watching.
