Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThis was the only time Michael Bentine starred in a feature film, although he played a few cameo parts elsewhere. It was made at the height of his television popularity, and he wrote it as a vehicle for himself. However, it was a box-office failure, and a critical disappointment; Bentine later said that it had failed because he had no control over the editing of the film, and implied that he should have also directed.
- GoofsAt the start of the film, Michel Bentine gets on a number 22 bus going to Knightsbridge, but gets off a number 44 going to Peckham.
- Quotes
Park Gardener: May I call your particular attention to the notice and its contents. Delphinia gigantica. Do you know it takes five years from the tiny seed, that I've nurtured with loving care, to the full paregoric effect you see here today. These beautiful blooms are extraordinarily delicate... so would you mind taking your dirty great hooter out of their fragrant petals.
- Crazy creditsThe end credits are played out over a wrestling bout, involving a bikini-clad girl, which has no connection with the rest of the film.

Featured review
Spot the Stars
A simple idea that fails spectacularly BUT 50+ years later it is a gem. Spot the stars and supporting actors from the 60s. They are nearly in every shot!
