Anecdotes
The role of Arnold Crouch was originally intended for Dudley Moore but he was signed to a film in the U.S. It was then offered to Terry Scott who developed an aneurysm and had to withdraw. Director Ray Cooney then assumed the role himself, having been the original actor in the out-of-town preview, before it opened in the West End.

Gaffes
Roughly twenty minutes before the end of the film, the boom mic is clearly visible briefly in the upper left hand corner of the screen.

Well I thought it was funny... but I do like 'Allo 'Allo!

It takes something special to make a miserable old git like me laugh out loud but this managed it. Farces like this (in many ways identical to this!) have been filmed since Ben Travers' Aldwych Farces back in the thirties so it was a tried and tested formula. This might actually be the apex of that genre.

Sophisticated and cerebral humour this isn't but neither is it, as some people labelled it, 'a 70s sex comedy.' Just because various attractive young women end up hiding in cupboards in their underwear does not place it in the same category as those dreadful 'Confessions of' films. This is very much a superbly honed, very funny comedy in the tradition of bawdy old fashioned English farce.

Whether or not this is for you would depend on whether you find Barbara Windsor, carrying a bird cage asking people if they'd like to see her tits, an outdated disgraceful example of sexism or silly schoolboy humour.
