Trivia
This was the only time Michael Bentine starred in a feature film, although he played a few cameo parts elsewhere. It was made at the height of his television popularity, and he wrote it as a vehicle for himself. However, it was a box-office failure, and a critical disappointment; Bentine later said that it had failed because he had no control over the editing of the film, and implied that he should have also directed.

Errores
At the start of the film, Michel Bentine gets on a number 22 bus going to Knightsbridge, but gets off a number 44 going to Peckham.

Citas
Park Gardener: May I call your particular attention to the notice and its contents. Delphinia gigantica. Do you know it takes five years from the tiny seed, that I've nurtured with loving care, to the full paregoric effect you see here today. These beautiful blooms are extraordinarily delicate... so would you mind taking your dirty great hooter out of their fragrant petals.

Créditos curiosos
The end credits are played out over a wrestling bout, involving a bikini-clad girl, which has no connection with the rest of the film.

A forgotten curiosity but an interesting historical document

I was surprised that I had never seen this film before. I particularly enjoy films of the period, perhaps in part for the nostalgia of seeing the world that I was born into. This captures the period very well, appearing to have been filmed entirely on location.

The story is a little dull and not particularly funny, but does contain some interesting cameos. In the opening minutes, a collection of racial minority characters are introduced but thankfully it doesn't stray into the politically incorrect stereotypes much of 60s and 70s film and television did, and ends up being an early introduction to multicultural Britain

I would highly recommend this film to anyone interested in seeing a nicely shot, high quality representation of 60s London, but as a comedy, it's average and it's not particularly entertaining.
