Storyline
Did you know
- 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.

Mr. Potter: Remember, gentlemen, and mark this well - he who is not not one up is always one down.

Featured review
This fabulous film is available on DVD at last, twinned with another Alaister Sim classic, THE GREEN MAN. But, the star of this film is the dapper TERRY-THOMAS. Every scene he is in is superb. From the suave cad in the first half of the film to the flustered toff in the second, this is one of his finest performances and stands up to repeat viewings due to his expressive faces and masterful comic timing.
I hear there is going to be a Hollywood remake of this film, which will be a huge mistake as there has been no one like T-T since. I recommend anyone who is a fan of British comedy to see this classic or you will forever be crying 'hard cheese'!
