A romping Technicolor farce vaguely indebted to Jeckyll & Hyde adapted by Vernon Sylvaine from his own West End hit of 1950, that basically extends to feature length the section in 'Laughter in Paradise' in which George Cole is forced to publicly make a fool of himself.
A once-in-a-lifetime supporting cast ranges from Alan Badel to Richard Massingham (and two future Doctor Whos); and there are some quite naughty jokes like the provenance of the paper used to replace the banknotes (while what George Cole does to Joan Sims, in her film debut, would get him fired and ostracised today...)!
