Edward Everett Horton plays the mild-mannered man whose reflection comes to life and does all the wild things he never could. It's fun and Horton was always good value for money. Script adapt . It's certainly the most thought-provoking, as Capital and Labour unite to stop Alec Guinness ' invention of everlasting cloth. Packed with wonderful performances, it's difficult to single out any for special praise, but I'll just mention Joan Greenwood 's innocent yet sexual rich girl, Vida Hope's butch factory worker with a crush on Guinness, Ernest Thesiger's desiccated tycoon and Edie Martin's frail landlady wondering who'll want her laundry services if clothes never get dirty.

The Bakiga tribe migrate through Uganda. Minor government clerk Norman Wisdom becomes an international figure when he gets involved with the diplomatic wrangling surrounding some Pacific islands. An unpromising subject produces what might be Wisdom's funniest film. It certainly has less of the sentimentality that ruined his previous film One Good Turn . For nostalgia fans the highlight is the chase sequence through TV studios in which he gets to wreck some well known programmes including Fabian of the Yard, The Grove Family and Philip Harben's cookery programme.
