Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaRumbelow is seen wearing an Oldham Athletics Club tracksuit - actor Eric Sykes was born in the Lancashire town.
- GoofsDetective Inspector Hook claims that the poison was ricin. Ricin is so lethal that the fumes alone from tiniest droplet will kill 22 averaged sized humans that are in an enclosed space like the average sized warehouse. Had this ultra-lethal poison been actually put in the carrot juice, everyone on the establishment would have been dead within 90 minutes. Even where Det Insp Hook says that it had been syringed into the can, by the end of the scene, all three characters would have been writhing in agony on the floor, certain to die swiftly simply for having been that close to the can.

Featured review
A Great Double Act
Eric Sykes and Terry-Thomas appeared in a number of movies together, after this one. Notably, Those Magnificent Men in Their Flying Machines and Monte Carlo or Bust, but this film made them the focus of the story as opposed to occasional comic turns. Very much along the lines of the Miss Marple movies, this is a funny, witty, well made film which plays to to the comic talents of the stars. Terry-Thomas is outstanding as the seedy PI, employed to detect strange goings-on at a health farm, run by Eric Sykes. Most amusing moments include Thomas trying to check in, ordering an alcoholic drink and realising that his luxury "chalet" only has three walls.
