Curiosidades
The "Mechanical Types" played by Basil Radford and Naunton Wayne are not one pair of characters, but several different roles, working on trains, buses, aeroplanes, in cinemas and as watchmakers.

Pifias
The aircraft used is shown in exterior shots to be a civil version of the Halifax bomber, but the lavish interior of the fuselage appears to be much too wide for that type, and the big square windows shown in interior shots are not present on the exterior. In fact, the aircraft shown in exteriors, G-AKEC, appears to have been used for freight, not for passengers.

Citas
Jennifer Peters: Why do you Scotsmen leave your country if you're so fond of it.
Jock Melville: Someone's got to civilise the world. Surely you realise Scotland's chief exports are brains and whiskey.

This searing kitchensink drama exposes the harsh dark, underbelly of postwar Britain.

No I was just pulling your leg, this lightweight but amusing romantic comedy has a newspaper reporter involved with a woman that is cursed with an affliction she stops all forms of mechanical machinery and is capable of telling the time without the aid of a clock. Henceforth she may be not all that marriageable for a newspaper man.

A set of rural English characters make up this whimsical film, the type of gentle B-grade farce that Britain used to be known for making before the 'orrible 60s and 70s.
