The film captures a quirky atmosphere, blending humor with a touch of romance, all while deftly navigating themes of trust and jealousy. The pacing is brisk, making it an easy watch, with moments that evoke the charm of the era. The performances are quite engaging, particularly the dynamic between Errol and his secretary, which is layered with playful tension. The backdrop of fencing adds a unique twist, offering physical comedy alongside the more verbal gags. It's a delightful snapshot of post-war comedic sensibilities, and definitely something that stands out in discussions about lesser-known comedies from that time.

This film has a bit of a murky history, with various prints circulating but not much in the way of restoration efforts.
