It is a sign of the times indeed that Paramount invested I don't know how many millions into this very silly film. Harry H Corbett refers to 'that picture, The Knack' at one point, but this is not anywhere near in the same league.
Amusingly, Q kept trying to apply logic to the craziness. Wife of brassiere designer Richard Attenborough Shirley Maclaine hides a lover in the attic of their far-out SW3 house (actually Howard's Lane, Putney - the house is pretty much unchanged). Farcical policemen Freddie Jones and Willie Rushton are in search of the missing man. With Bob Monkhouse, Patricia Routledge, John Cleese.
Geoffrey Unsworth is doing some interesting things with lenses, focus and the zoom, and the design is very far out in the Swinging London style.
The copy we saw on TPTV had the words 'bitch' and 'crap' censored!
