      Production


      Henri Safran had been looking for a comedy script to direct, and being unable to find one he was happy with, he decided to write one himself.


      Reception


      Sandra Hall in The Bulletin said, "the comedy relies on a certain amount of obtuseness, literal mindedness, double-takes and talking at cross-purposes. The characters are there to be laughed at, not with, and to that end much over-acting is done. Nobody turns out to be particularly likeable."
