Trivia
The machines in the Num Yum factory are a spoof on the Moloch scenes from Fritz Lang's film Metropolis.

While Stanley Windrush demonstrates his forklift driving skills for Mr. Waters, he says "Well, I'm shifting these generators from the stores to here, for loading up." He drives over a bump and the (presumed full) boxes bounce as though they were empty.

Quotes
Fred Kite: We do not and cannot accept the principle that incompetence justifies dismissal. That is victimisation.

Why cant they make films like this anymore

I remember seeing this film at the ABC Golders Green when it first came out and it seemed pretty funny then.It was on Channel 4 recently and i just believe that this gets better with age.I just wonder why cant they make films like this anymore.Do we have to rely on TV and "Little Britain"to satirise modern Britain.There are just so many small as well as big laughs .It makes you think whether you saw that first time round.Everything about this film was so true about Britain at the time that it was made.I recall that the Boultings were involved with a dispute with trade unions over which they litigated and which i believe they lost.This was their way of getting revenge.Every character is perfectly cast from Sam Kydd and his memorable stutter to dear Margaret Rutherford who was at her comedic zenith in the cinema at that time.Of course Peter Sellers gives what must be one of the top 5 comedic performances in British cinema.His shop steward is just so perfect.Oh why don't they make films like this anymore?
