Newlyweds Stanley Baxter and Sally Smith have been staying her father's home. Unfortunately, he's James Robertson Justice playing another Great Man. This time he's a great actor, with pictures of him in costume scattered about the house, and busts, too. Baxter can't stand it any more, so he and Miss Smith purchase a rundown cottage and try to rehabilitate it. But Robertson keeps poking his nose in, and there are a lot of popular clowns of the era in this one, so the inevitable series of comic disasters take place. With Leslie Phillips a the estate agent, Ronnie Barker as the builder, and Raymond Huntley stealing his three scenes without speaking a word, it's the sort of movie about young people without enough money for their dream house.

Mostly, though, it's bright and funny for the first half, with Justice playing his supercilious character with his usual comic dash. The final crisis is all right, but with so many people fighting for screen time, it comes off a bit mechanical.

In a loose follow-up to the excellent Fast Lady, Stanley Baxter and James Roberson Justice star in this rather lacklustre British comedy. Technically, it's alright, but somehow it never quite gets going like its predecessor. If you're playing British 1960s comedy film bingo, you'll fill your card up by the end of the film: domineering father-in-law, foot in paint bucket, getting stopped by the police, yokels, dodgy workmen, and lots more. Ronnie Barker is the standout performer as the dodgy local workman. But James Robertson-Justice just seems to be phoning it in on this one, and Stanley Baxter, who later went on to play so many diverse parts, just reprises his comically obstinate Scotsman persona for this film. All in all not a bad film, but not a great one, either.
