Main cast

Reception

The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "The acting of the majority is overdone and the imitations of Joe E. Brown, which a slight resemblance calls forth, are very forced. The exceptions are Hughie Green, whose acting stands out as very good, and Wally Patch, who is his usual downright self."[4]

In British Sound Films: The Studio Years 1928โ€“1959 David Quinlan rated the film as "mediocre", writing: "Strenuous musical farce."[5]
