Trivia
Billy Wright, the famous Wolverhampton Wanderers and England football player, is described as "Mr Beverley". That is a humorous reference to the fact that he was married to Joy Beverley, one of The Beverley Sisters. The Beverley Sisters trio was a very popular singing act in the 1950s and 1960s.

Quotes
Libby Morris: I'm looking for someone with a little authority.
Glen Mason: Well I've got a little as anyone.

"Waiter! There's a Fly in My Coffee!"

Thus is an old joke updated to the era of juke boxes and espresso bars, as delivered by a boyishly young Craig Douglas.

Michael Winner was almost the same age when he directed this nonsense as Orson Welles (who he would be directing a few years later in 'I'll Never Forget What's 'Isname') when Welles made 'Citizen Kane'. The found footage thrown in to surround TV DJ Jack Johnson ranges from Charlie Kunz to Elvis Presley in this incredible early proof of the tireless energy and confidence with which the young Winner broke into movies.

And stayed there!
