Storyline

- TriviaA first screenplay was written by Peter Ustinov, who was also the first choice for Dennis Price's role as Dunstan Dorcester. He may have contributed to the script in collaboration with the credited Patricia Moyes, who had, at one time, been his secretary.
- GoofsAfter the restaurant meal, Delauney apologizes that he can't give them both a lift because he only has his two-seater, so he offers to take April home in his two-seater. Later, though, both men travel in the car to the second tennis match, apparently intending to collect April on the way.

Featured review
I cannot remember how many times I have watched this film now - it takes me back to a time of charming English etiquette which, being too young, I never witnessed. The range of social situations through which we are taken in the apprenticeship of 'Lifemanship' are hilarious, and in a gentle and exquisitely-understated way. Ian Carmichael is, of course excellent, but my all-time hero, Terry-Thomas, is on the toppest of forms delivering the "Look's like a Polish stomach pump" and "Oh I say, smashing cricket stroke" lines with his unshakeable aplomb. A nostalgic treasure of a film.
