Critical reception
Writing in 1979, at the time of the American release, The New York Times reviewer commented: "In its own way, it is well done ... (with) its simple-minded and by now rather outdated double and triple entendres."[1] TV Guide said: "A pleasing performance from Corbett ... saves this otherwise average British farce from the usual doldrums."[2]
