By no means is this classic Goons, probably because it wasn't written by Spike Milligan. It does however, provide us with the only film of the four Goons, with Peter's mate Graham Stark. Carole Carr was a big singing star of the day, and does a bit of singing in the film, plus we get to see Sellers and Bentine do bits from their stage acts. Spike also gets to play his trumpet. Personally, I would have like the main players to feature more characters from the radio show, so we cold meet Moriarty, Minnie & Henry, and Eccles. But I suppose Jimmy Grafton had control of the film. I gave this film a 7, as I have always been a massive fan of Spike, since I first heard The GO-ON show, as the BBC thought it was called.
