Reception

The British Film Institute wrote: "Donald Pleasance is excellent as a nervous, bald, hen-pecked – and murderous – inventor leading a strange double life as a hirsute playboy running an introductions agency in this strange and often bewildering late 1960s comedy. Terry-Thomas also excels as a charming con-man, enlivening this piquant forgotten 1969 period piece – never released in UK cinemas."
