    • Trivia
      The opening titles and a portion of the first scene of this movie appear on the Monty Python and the Holy Grail (1975) Special Edition DVD; a voice is eventually heard mumbling that it is the wrong movie, and Holy Grail starts instead.
    • Goofs
      When Jill is in the bath advertising "Proudfoot's Pink Pierre", there is a large mirror behind her. When she stands up, it's gone.
    • Crazy credits
      The end credits are shown over Richard Wattis walking with sandwich boards advertising the toothpaste. When he turns to face the camera, the front board says 'The End'. He continues to walk towards the camera until the words on the board fill the screen.

    Easy going 60's comedy

    There were two styles of British comedy in the 50's/60's, the wonderful Ealing comedies and the pretty awful, but watchable Carry on Films. This is more reminiscent of a Carry on, indeed the music score is almost identical, though the comedy is better. Bob Monkhouse also starred in the very first Carry on movie, Carry on Sergeant; and Shirley Eaton was literally the Golden Girl in James Bond's Goldfinger.
