WILL ANY GENTLEMAN...? isn't a great British comedy; it pales when compared to many of the best of the 1950s, particularly those made by Ealing or in the latter part of the decade, the early CARRY ONs. However, in terms of the cast alone it's worth watching, and the farcical plotting is amusing enough. George Cole shines as a shy bank clerk who finds himself transformed under hypnosis into a real lothario, so there's a kind of Jekyll & Hyde vibe going on here. The cast is exemplary with familiar face after familiar face appearing; particularly amusing is Joan Sims in her first-ever role.
