Last film of Hy Hazell, who died a couple of months after it came out, in London.
Veteran actress Patience Collier plays a "Mrs. Levin" in the film, and is outrageously made up to resemble a transvestite version of the eminent journalist and broadcaster Bernard Levin, a friend of producer Ned Sherrin and one of the stars of Sherrin's most famous TV series, "That Was the Week That Was (1962)" (1962).
Julie Ege's first on screen nude scene.
The overall concept is in direct ridicule of the then ongoing campaign by Mary Whitehouse, a British teacher and conservative activist, on gratuitous sex in advertising (and many other fields). Certain scenes, such as the parish council watching entire programmes which they are offended by simply to count the offensive incidents, exactly parodies Mary Whitehouse's infamous and ironic behaviour of the time.
Frances de la Tour's debut.
"Inga Giltenburg: [Subtitles in Swedish dream sequence] This was your first time? What did you think of it? Teddy Brown: It's better than open sandwiches."
"Mrs. Monty Levin: So, perfect nobody is. Liz Brown: She was in bed with my husband...! Mrs. Monty Levin: Look, for thirty shillings a week and all found, you can't expect Mary Poppins. Liz Brown: Someone should report her to the authorities as an undesirable alien. Mrs. Monty Levin: Alien, maybe. But undesirable, it doesn't sound like! Liz Brown: My husband was too drunk to know what was happening. He's not used to drinking. Mrs. Monty Levin: I don't like the sound of what he is used to. Liz Brown: Mrs. Levin, if I have decided to accept my husband's explanation, the one thing I do not need is anyone undermining it. He, personally, sent her packing. So all I want from you is a replacement. Mrs. Monty Levin: Oh, of course you do. And what's more a replacement that will turn out to be a repetition... [she searches her files] Mrs. Monty Levin: Ooh, Mrs. Brown I've got for you here a girl that's like the answer to a prayer. Liz Brown: Whose prayer? Mrs. Monty Levin: That you don't have to worry, when I tell you that in her last situation, she broke the husband's arm in four places. Liz Brown: That sounds perfect!"
