The downside in this movie is the weak comedy material which wastes the talents of Seacombe and Bentine, but the film was still mildly entertaining with not-too-bad songs, however it was badly let down by a poor boxing sequence at the finale.
I knew little about the star Hy Hazel. She was regarded as Britain's answer to Betty Grable but had a tragic death at the age of just 50. She was starring in Fiddler on the Roof but choked to death in 1970 while eating a steak in a restaurant.
