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.
