DO waste your time with this one!, 25 March 2000
Author: Roger Harris (roger@harris.softnet.co.uk) from Hereford, England

It's obviously based on a stage play as all the scenes take place in just a few rooms. But, bearing in mind it was made in the early sixties, its got some good gags and one-liners in. This was Steve McQueen's only real attempt at comic farce and its enjoyable to see him in the role, even if he is a little over the top on occasions. Originally his reviews were good, but he himself disliked his performance in the film. This film has never been released on video in the UK and is only very rarely shown on satellite TV. Catch it if you can - then see the posters for the film at THE STEVE McQUEEN FILM POSTER SITE
