Sadly, despite a whole host of reliable British comedy actors in the cast list and some well known names behind the scenes (Terry Nation and John Barry) this is a pretty dreadful movie. Even by the low standards of pop star film vehicles, this is a yawn inducing non-event. Dull jokes about people misunderstanding each other, the heroines' clothes 'accidentally' coming off and stereotypical Scots rhubarbing in the background. Only for nostalgic Adam Faith fans I'm afraid or possibly "Carry On" fans wanting to catch Sid James and Charles Hawtry in their typical guises.
