Review :

A comedy of its time.

This turned out to be the final film featuring the great northern comic actor, Frank Randle. As a swansong it's not at all bad, though it does have scenes that linger too long, and where the humour is a little too forced. However, some of the slapstick scenes are still genuinely funny, especially the one where Frank Randle has the new army recruits doing a childlike dance, with their rifles held aloft! Diana Dors, along with Jennifer Jayne, provides the glamour interest, and there are likable performances from the rest of the cast, including a cameo appearance by Winifred Atwell at the piano. A famous wrestler, from that era, Jack Pye also appears in funny wrestling interlude with Frank Randle. The same Jack Pye was still taking on opponents in the ring whilst in his 60's!!! The film does tend to go on too long, and would have been better with tighter editing. Also John Blythe (as Diana Dors' fiancé) must be the oldest looking 23 year old ever!! A nice nostalgic film for fans of the genre.
