    • Trivia
      On original release this film failed to cover its costs, since Adelphi Films as a small independent studio found themselves unable to negotiate a satisfactory distribution deal with the big exhibitors; intended (and financed) as a A-feature, it only ever received a limited release as part of a double bill.

    Leaves me perplexed.

    Films like this that switch from comedy to drama in such a clumsy and alarming manner can prove tiring and although I love British film from the 1950's I may not look at this one again. I am a John Gregson fan and he is always personable so I might keep my copy for him alone. However all the other characters (and there are so many of them) annoy me. To sum it up give me "Trouble in Store" any day.
