    Witless Farce

    There is not one character,one line of dialogue or one plot point that made me laugh.It seems that the only idea the director had was to get his cast to shout the dialogue as loud as possible so that the audience would find this funny.The eccentrics brought into populate the cast are neither funny or endearing they are just silly.It is difficult to believe that this film was distributed by the Rank Organisation.It must have emptied then many near derelict halls that were still open at this time.Audiences were plummeting at this time and Ranks only solution was to close as many cinemas as they could.Certainly one of the worst British films I have viewed and not worth a screening.

    Bland And Strait-Laced Comedy

    Donald Sinden and Peggy Cummins are a loving couple with a lot of debts. When her aunt's will turns up, it provides her an annual income of less than 400 pounds, but the principal can be invaded for the education of children -- of which they have none -- or in the event of their divorce calling for more cash. They try taking in paying guests, but the typical collection of eccentrics -- Peter Reynolds is actually amusing -- never actually pay, leaving them worse off than ever. So they decide to get divorced. One of them must give grounds, which sets the second half of the plot in motion.

    Miss Cummins and Sinden are pretty good in their roles, but the film relies too much on standard comedy tropes to be particularly interesting. In addition, I found that the musical score was intrusive, sniggering, and a bit lazy as played by Bert Weedon. the result is another of the sexless sex comedies that seemed to be in regular production in Britain in the early 1960s, and not a very distinguished example.
