The title tells it all

Once upon a time Brian Rix held sway at the Whitehall Theatre.He had one infallible trick to make people laugh which was to take down his trousers.He doesn't do it in this film so maybe that is why it is so hopelessly unfunny.This despite having the talents of Leslie Phillips and Cecil Parker in the cast.The first quarter of an hour is bearable but perhaps that is because Rix is trying to play it straight.After that it is all downhill.In fact this is a lame take off of "I Was Montys Double" so much that Clifton James who played Montys double in that film also has a brief cameo in this.Just compare this with say Some Like It Hot which came out about the same time and you will see just how far Hollywood the British film industry was trailing.
