Harold Whitehead Montreal Gazette There is enough slapstick comedy during the run of the production to keep everyone amused. Sep 20, 2022 Full Review MFB Critics Monthly Film Bulletin The laurels go to Margaret Rutherford as the author. Her personality endows this film with a striking comedy performance.

Audience Member a gentle British comedy where a local amateur dramatic group try to put on a challenging play which becomes more difficult when the author turns up. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Audience Member One of the best openings of any film about the back stage workings of theatre, all the joys / laughs and pains of putting on a show Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Audience Member Robert Morley, Margaret Rutherford, and Kay Kendall star in this classic comedy romp about a low budget theatre where each actor has a story to tell , but the rehersals just dont seem to get done, will the play ever appear on stage in time, with all the interuption ? the cast is outstanding ,sadly Kay Kendall died just 7 years after the film was made at the young age of 33 Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Read all reviews
