    family film firmly set in the English sixties

    This is a family film with light humour and some lovely remembrancers of the sixties era, with baby doll nightgowns and pink angora sweaters...

    Some early appearances by later UK comedy greats- an early old-man Clive Dunn, some early Wilfred Brambell etc make it worth watching.

    The story about the Loch Ness Monster is pure tosh but the film never takes itself seriously at all and it is similar to a rather toned down very early Carry On film, relatively gentle.

    English humour from the 60's.

    I don't see...

    I don't see why this film as so many bad reviews, It's a pleasing British comedy of it's era (1961) with a cracking cast.

    It's the type of film you'd get on BBC2 on a wet afternoon when I was a kid.

    How can any film with Sid James, Spike Milligan (Who seems to be in the wrong film...), Charles Hawtrey not be an easy pleasing nostalgic view?.

    Maybe I'm of the last generation that appreciates this type of film...I hope not.

    Cheeky, family fun!

    I saw this film today and must say, it made me laugh. It didn't aim to be a major box office smash and it wasn't, but it was fun and relaxing to watch. I was amazed and glad to see so many great names appear, and it made a nice change to have a plot that wasn't so complex that it gave you a headache. I enjoyed it greatly and i know my cousin of eleven years old enjoyed it too!

    What a Whopper

    Heart-throb pop star Adam Faith ("Tony") is a struggling author who cannot get his book about the famed Loch Ness monster published. It purports to be a serious work and naturally all the publishers know there's no such beastie. Determined to prove them wrong, he and some pals fake some photos and soon the world and it's wife is heading to verify the sightings. Now as a Scot, this irked on a couple of levels - not least Faith's appalling attempt at the accent and director Gilbert Gunn's determination not to use any Scottish actors at all, as far as I could see. Sidney James as the Highland hotel owner really did take the proverbial biscuit. Despite these rather obvious, doubtless budget-driven clangers, at times it's actually quite a fun, light-hearted, wheeze but it's really let down by the fairly stilted acting across the board which is almost as ropey as the stereotype-ridden script. Needless to say, the filming never left the home counties and as for the theme song - well, least said. It does have a nostalgia value - simple comedy around an even more simple story, but it's still not very good.

    The Hoax Or Miss Lessley's Rear?

    Adam Faith can't sell his book about the Loch Ness Monster. All the publishers say that Nessie hasn't been seen in a long time. So he and Charles Hawtrey drive up to Scotland to fake evidence, picking up Marie France and Carole Lessley along the way. Once on site, their plans become mixed up with Sid James'. He's the owner of the pub they're staying at who's catching salmon out of season and selling them to a black marketeer.

    The burlesque-like sexuality of this comedy is set in the first shot, with the camera following Miss Lessley on the street, with a close-up of her derriere. The rest of the movie seems to consist of CARRY ON hijinx, mixed with a plot which handles Faith's duplicity as if it is the most normal thing in the world. Credit, if that's the right word, with a script co-written by Terry Nation.

    Faith was transitioning from a two-hit musical wonder to an actor. He seems to have had moderate success with the latter career. He died in 2003 at the age of 62.

    • Trivia
      Aspiring writer Jeremy Lloyd was working as a travelling salesman of rust-proof paint in the late 1950s when he wrote a story called 'What a Whopper' about a Cockney youth who runs tours to see the Loch Ness monster. After delivering paint near Pinewood Studios, he pitched the script to studio chief Earl St John, who bought it.
    • Errores
      The barrow boy at the beginning of the film seems to refer to Adam Faith's character as Terry. This is Adam's real name but his character is called Tony. The line is delivered very quickly, though, and it is indeed possible that he says Tony.
