John Mortimer's classic one hour radio/TV/stage play padded out to feature length. It doesn't work as well but at least we have Peter Sellers in marvelous form as the barrister. Sellers excelled at wounded dignity - dumb people unaware of their own incompetence.
Richard Attenborough is fine though his fake nose was distracting. It was easy to get up movies in Britain back in the day wasn't it?
Fantasy sequences are used. Not bad. You just watch it and go "this is overlong". Or at least I did.
