CGiii Comment
In better directorial hands...this could have been something more than it is...
A decent budget, stalwart comedy actors of the time and a script that is just the right side of risque.
Danny La Rue exudes charm throughout...delivering endless doubles entendres.
It's good old-fashioned fun marred by an incompetent and unimaginative director.
