Anecdotes
Many of the cast and crew would go on to work on the "Carry on..." series of films.

Not that it matters, but Jo couldn't publish a book without her parents knowing because she is under 21 and so can't sign a contract. The age of majority (when a child legally becomes an adult) was 21 at that time, and was only lowered to 18 in 1970.

A voice of dissent.

A 17 year-old girl writes a tell-all best-selling book. Unfortunately, the folks in the town recognize that she's talking about them and soon chaos erupts throughout this small English town.

I was very surprised to see such fantastically high ratings for this comedy. While the three other reviews now listed give it scores ranging from 9 to 10, I really hated the film and cannot understand the praise. After all, a score this high would place it among the elite British comedies of the era--but I'd never consider this to be in the same league as the charming Ealing Comedies being made around the time when "Please Turn Over" debuted. Ealing's films are subtle--and subtle is NEVER a term I'd use to describe "Please Turn Over". In this film, the acting is VERY broad as is the writing--like a cheap sit-com. Overacting and overdoing it is definitely what I noticed immediately after the film began. Not as broad as "Benny Hill" but certainly very broad.
