Dimwitted British comedy from the Rank Organisation which wastes color photography. How's this for high concept - a couple (David Tomlinson, Petula Clark) hire a maid from Hungary who is hot so all the men want to root her. Tomlinson and Clark are in some competition where they have to be happy for a year - this is based on a real thing and that's a basis of a good movie. I think they needed several couples in competition.
Clark is too young (19) and too pretty for Tomlinson. Everyone tries.
Maybe the film would've been better had they cast Yvonne de Carlo, who'd been in a comedy from the same producer (George Brown) Hotel Sahara - her being a man-trap maid would've been fun. But Sonja Ziemann is just amiable.
