Sexyloutak Absolutely the worst movie.

Marva It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

Walter Sloane Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

Richard Chatten The Danzigers were always full of surprises, but they surpassed themselves with this oddity which sounds (and starts) like one of their comedies but instead turns out to be an earnest drama about blackmail with one of their trademark discordant jazz scores.A full third of the film's running time is devoted to a lengthy flashback set in occupied France, when Gordon Jackson is supposed to have married Lisa Daniely while suffering from amnesia. Ms Daniely with an 'Allo 'Allo accent and beret and raincoat to match, turns up at Jackson's wedding to the luscious Christina Gregg with a marriage license dated 22 August 1944 and demands the then colossal sum of £10,000 not to tell the papers.I didn't doubt for a moment that this was going to prove to be anything other than a scam; but the twists and turns of Brian Clemens and Eldon Howard's preposterous story (with elements of the sort of thing Clemens would soon be churning out for 'The Avengers'), assisted by good performances from a competent cast, keep you sufficiently curious as to where this is all leading to continue to be entertained until eventually arriving at the satisfactorily action-packed conclusion.

malcolmgsw This is a rather strange film.As noted by the other reviewer the title makes it sound like a comedy.However within a few minutes it becomes a wartime action film.Then it morphs into a mystery drama which is long on talk and short on action.Then the poorly staged climax which is long on action and short on talk.The climactic fight is supposed to be taking place on top of a central London hotel but is clearly being staged on top of a sound stage in Horsham Wood.You can see the fields in the distance.Some familiar faces appear.Andre Maranne who always played French parts,and Humphrey Lestoq from early children's television.It's the sort of combination of events that you would expect from the Danzigers.

nova-63 The title leads the viewer to believe they are about to watch a classic comedy. However, this film is no comedy, rather a drama with some thriller aspects. Set shortly after the war, Gordon Jackson, plays an British soldier who served in France during the war. He has returned to civilian life and is about to marry his sweetheart (Christina Gregg). Shortly after the ceremony he is contacted by a woman (Lisa Daniely) he knew in France who he romanced during the war.The story unfolds that Jackson was seriously injured during the fighting in France. During this time, Daniely claims Jackson proposed and they were married. Unfortunately for Jackson, he lost his memory for a short time and he can't disprove her claim.Daniely offers to leave the two newlyweds forever as long as Jackson can pay her a considerable sum of money. Now Jackson (and the viewer) realizes that Daniely is a fraud and they were never married. But how can he prove it and is someone else involved in the blackmail scheme.The film is certainly no cracker, but the current rating (3.2) is a little harsh. Yes, it's a little staid and very low budget. Still it was a pleasant enough 65 minutes if one is not expecting too much.
