Although he's not in it, players of the English branch of "the six degrees of Kevin Bacon" must love this film, given the sheer number of cast members who are more famous for other things being in this together. Where else will you find links between Edward Woodward and Arthur Mullard?; Diana Dors and Richard Beckinsale?; John le Mesurier and Ian Lavender? (oh, wait a minute...); and many other pairings of your choosing. It's actually harder to find members of the core cast who *didn't* go on to some sort of fame than did.
As for the film itself, it's pretty standard mid-70s farcical nonsense that's not as funny as perhaps it might be, although the music isn't too bad. The sound design could do with some work though, given the sheer amount of screaming that accompanies the crowd and concert scenes.
Not great, but good for historical completists...
