The Man Who Couldn't Get Enough

Skyscrapers have long been the butt of jokes about what they symbolise, and this film even mentions the Eiffel Tower while omitting to mention what the dome of St. Paul's Cathedral obviously resembles. Rather than simply thumbing through a stack of back issues of 'Mayfair' for inspiration our hero instead finds it necessary to actually mate with a succession of obliging females until the eventual plot 'twist' that provides him with his muse and the film with a conclusion.

Like so many actors in old British films, Derek Royle - who played Henry's boss Sir Bernard - already looked familiar to me; the penny finally dropping that he later played the ill-fated Mr Leeman, the guest found dead in bed in 'Fawlty Towers'.
