I saw this when it was first shown in cinemas, although about the only thing that stuck in my memory was the hysterical performance by Lionel Jeffries as the tyrannical prison officer. Looking at it today, what stands out is that although Peter Sellers is the nominal star, it is really in the nature of an ensemble piece. The British film industry produced a few films like this - unpretentious fun movies with short running times, and with excellent supporting casts of comedy actors who all contribute to the enjoyment. I thoroughly recommend it.
