Review by christopher-underwood

This is far better a film than I expected. I knew Marty Feldman would be good but I rather expected the usual British sex comedy ingredients of unfunny sequences with men (too old) falling over as they scramble towards very average looking girls (all the while squealing). Big surprise then, for this is an intelligent, inspired and inventive exercise, being very much of its time and all the better for it. The spoof TV adverts at the start threaten to overwhelm but thanks to Richard Williams' inspired animation all turns out very well and the picture is very representative of the time, with swirling graphics and sublimely surreal moments (tube of toothpaste car with dwarfs inside!). Good script with political and social satire and some funny lines. Julie Ege far, far better than one might have imagined and indeed there are more good looking girls in this than in all the rest of similar films of the period put together. There is a slightly over extended sequence towards the end in the TV props department but even here there is inventiveness and overall a very good effort that must surely have been as much fun to make as to watch.
