An overly silly, often too chaotic but yet still enjoyable little comedy, it is not as much a showcase for the talents of its director as his previous films were, but it is still well done, with some swift bits of editing, excellent sets and costumes, and some good camera-work. The material itself has both some delightful and funny parts, and generally it is amusing, even though it is often one of two extremes of being either too rushed or too drawn out. Ralph Richardson received a nomination from the BAFTAs for his performance, and he is certainly the best of ensemble cast, although Wilfrid Lawson deserves a mention too. Some awkward title cards disturb the film, but otherwise it is entertaining enough viewing, and even if no masterpiece, this is still a fairly good film.
