| Monthly Film BulletinMFB CriticsNorman Wisdom brings to the screen his well-known stage personality, "the little man against the world," and with it its basic weakness -- its dependence on a first-rate script, which he lacks in this film. |
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzBritish slapstick comedy that marks the film debut of music-hall comedian Norman Wisdom. |

| User ReviewGreg WI wish they would re show this classic in the Cinema, with Margaret Rutherford,Norman Wisdom and Michael Ward how could you fail not to love this film. |
| User ReviewDimitris SLovely charisma by Norman Wisdom,the joy of this movie comes from the roulette joggling of the slapstick elements,the wonderful supporting cast (Rutherford as a rather..."innocent" rich granny),a comedy keeping the precise scope,numerous chases,the occasional romance but beware,anarchy ensues!! |
| User ReviewRoche FNo wonder he was NUmber One in Albania. Enver Hoxha of the "We and the Chinese are over a billion strong" made these films compulsory. His one good idea! |
| User ReviewMarie PFor lovers of Norman Wisdom's sweet dimwittedness, it's enough. But to boot, Margaret Rutherford makes the most delightful shoplifter ever. A British confection. |
