When giving Delauney directions in the car Palfrey says at one point "second right, no third right". Delauney turns almost immediately, hardly time for even first right. See more »Quotes

This film is perfect for a rainy Sunday afternoon, when you can set back and enjoy a sunny English summer, complete with cads, bounders and unsportsmen like behaviour. Lovely. This is the perfect Terry-Thomas movie, doing exactly what he does best, being suave and impressing the ladies with his nifty sportscar and well waxed moustouche. Tip Top.
