Cast

Production

Long worked on the script with Suzanne Mercer. Long financed the film entirely himself and shot it on 16mm.[2]

It was one of a number of British sex comedies featuring Diana Dors.[3] The theme song "Cruisin' Casanova" was performed by Adrienne Posta.

Reception

Box office

The movie was a huge box office success.[2] It was the 19th most successful film at the British box office in 1976.[4]

Critical reception

Monthly Film Bulletin said "A crass, lobotomised production, with no discernible style, humour or purpose. Stanley Long draws irritatingly smug performances from Barry Evans, Judy Geeson and, particularly, Adrienne Posta; and his view of women and sex is more objectionable than that of the most passionless, clinical, primitively shot stag movie."[5]

The Radio Times Guide to Films gave the film 2/5 stars, writing: "Back in the 1970s, smutty comedies such as this were the order of the day for comedy actors trying to break into movies. Barry Evans, who came to prominence in the Doctor in the House TV series, plays a cabbie who moves away from his nagging family and enjoys a number of amorous encounters."[6]
