A film that begins with that awful title song - sung by Sid James & Liz Fraser! - can only get better; but not much. (And we continue to hear the theme repeated regularly thereafter on the soundtrack.)
Obviously made on a shoestring, the frequent bawdy innuendo surpasses even the 'Carry On's of the period. Both leading ladies are delightful, however; and even though Ian Carmichael was nearly twenty years older than Janette Scott he looks youthful enough for them to make convincing newlyweds. (Miss Scott's boyishly short hair, by the way, though extremely becoming, obviously presented continuity problems, since it varies throughout the film and is noticeably shorter and neater in the interiors shot back at the studio at Twickenham).
