The story may not make a great deal of sense though it hardly matters. Rather it unfolds in the manner of a dream, at times resembling a series of Python-esque sketches, even though this was apparently the result of scripting problems as much as by intention. Your enjoyment essentially depends on your appreciation of Frank Ifield's musical numbers. I enjoyed them immensely and was surprised at the low ratings for this sunny and cheerful piece of escapism. Giving strong support is Ronnie Radd, one of the most talented, versatile and prolific character actors of the period, who was sadly taken from us far too soon.
