 This film was Frankie Howerd's first musical, and it led to him starring in "A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum" on stage and in several conventional Gilbert and Sullivan productions, including Sir Joseph Porter in "H.M.S.Pinafore" and the Learned Judge in "Trial by Jury".However, Howerd said that "not only was it the worst film ever made, but was the one production in show-business that I'm positively ashamed to have appeared in."
