Norman's best?

I thought this was one of Wisdom's very best outings as a hapless window cleaner caught up in a kidnap plot. It has far more story to it than other similar efforts the actor would go on to make, and his camaraderie with the supporting cast is what makes this zing; I particularly enjoyed his developing friendship with the spoilt young lord. The slapstick is very funny too, which helps immensely.

Trivia
Norman is sentenced to 25 years and tells Jeannine he'll he 50 when he gets out. Wisdom was actually 41 when he made this film. Wisdom was always supposed to be about 25 in all of his films.

Goofs
There is an obvious stunt double at the top of the ladder in the long shots during the prison scenes. The double is much taller than Wisdom's 5'2" height.
