Review by Noel Baily
Insulting and unfunny British smut with a capital
S!
Now
70 years old, and coincidentally born and bred but 15 minutes
drive from my own childhood home in Kent, here is a Director
with a resume to die for - in other words, he should have
been put out of our misery before he ever came close to picking
up a camera. About the only decent thing he ever achieved
was to write an episode of THE SAINT in 1962.
Utter
and complete crap farce - a wannabe DOCTOR IN THE HOUSE/CARRY
ON DOCTOR without the budget, actors, script or production
resources. Very sad to see accomplished old stagers Graham
Stark and John Le Mesurier prostituting their art in this
woeful and trashy piece of celluloid. Like its sequel WHAT'S
UP SUPERDOC? this realistically should carry a minus rating!
