Reception
[edit]The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "The theme is slight, but serves as a thread for humorous events. ... [Gordon Harker's] lugubrious cockneyisms, his mispronunciation and his face keep one in roars of laughter. Hyde White as Stallybrass is also very funny in a quiet way. ... Very good entertainment."[3]
