Review by CinemaSerf

"Bert" (Ronald Shiner) is a quick-witted wide-boy who manages to upset the formidable "Mrs. Anstey" (the Martita Hunt-esque Jean Cadell) with one of his ad campaigns. She threatens to withdraw her lucrative account leading his boss "Bouncenboy" (James Hayter) with no choice but to fire the man! Meantime, his sister is married to an eccentric aristocrat and "Lord Hurlingham" (Colin Gordon) has invented an all-powerful vacuum cleaner. "Bert" decides that his future and that of his employer could be salvaged if they can find a way to promote this new gadget whilst engaging with their irate former patron and her "Purity League"! Maybe the solution is to involve all three? Maybe "Mrs. Anstey" needs a new hoover for her manor house? Ursula Howells adds a little to the limited comedy mix as do Denis Shaw and a few scenes from Joan Simms, but for the most part this is just a showcase for Shiner and though it's not dreadful, it's all just a little too predictable and stereotypical. Standard afternoon cinema that does raise the occasional titter, but that's about all.
