I was a fan of Ronnie Shiner and saw many of his fifties films. In this his last film he is only on screen for the first ten minutes after which Brian Rix is on screen and the film goes rapidly downhill.
By a truly ridiculous plot twist Shiner comes back to haunt Rix as the voice of a parrot.
There are a lot of familiar fifties actors including Reginald Beckwith, Robertson Hare and John Lemesurier but the film just isn't very funny. Indeed it could be described as a laugh free zone. I always thought that Brian Rix was the most unfunny actor on film. However he did pack them in at the Whitehall Theatre.
