The Sandwich Man

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.

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.

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.
