Trivia
Last Film of Reg Varney.
Share this
This is a pantomime, but there is one line in the film. It is uttered by Kate O'Mara who, when discovering that the red spot on Eric Sykes' cheek is not blood, but paint, says, "It's paint."
Share this
This film, like Eric Sykes's other film Rhubarb (1969), includes practically no dialogue because of his worsening deafness.
