Review :
Feeble Comedy
It is clear that the Rank Organisation weren't bothered to spend much on this film bearing in mind that it looked as if it had been shot almost completely inside Pinewood studios.I don't know if it was funny at the time it was released,it certainly isn't funny now.Akim Tamiroff,clearly in the cast to add some clout at the American box office,is always entertaining.However Donald Sinden is poor.I had never heard of Sarah Lawson,and on the basis of her performance,little wonder.Bill Kerr is comic support for Sinden.Whilst he is passable it would have helped if someone of a bit more comic stature had played his part.Sinden would be far better in the Doctor films which would start the same year.
