                Oh dear ... deeply unfunny "comedy" made on a shoestring in and around Brighton

                Don't hold your breath waiting for this to be released on DVD! I saw this on an old 16mm film print recently and apart from some interest because it was filmed in and around Brighton on the South Coast here in the UK and the lovely crisp black and white print quality there was little else to enjoy. It is almost resolutely unfunny! Fortunately it only runs for less than an hour. Max Bacon has a couple of sequences that hark back to music hall routines. In one he starts talking about his outrageous eating habits to make a woman on a train be sick enough to venture to take one of the "atomic powders" that the film is ostensibly about. In the other sequence he is mistaken for a medical professor and proceeds to attempt to lecture some student doctors on the finer points of anatomy. Some credit due to those involved for producing a film on what have been a minuscule budget.
