Early Michael Winner film which he never liked much but it's fun - absolutely does what it sets out to do which is provide a vehicle for Billy Fury, whose acting is fine and has strong presence; the plot is silly, the romantic complications are contrived, but that is as it should be. There's some cheery moments, sex pest comments from the support characters (including Michael Anderson Jnr), lots of musical numbers from Fury and others (including Bobby Vee), atractive women..
Maybe anyone could have directed this but Winner handles it all with energy and verve. It's a shame it couldn't be in colour but Dennis Price gives the support cast some flair. One of Winner's best natured movies.
