Critical reception


The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "A rough-and-tumble farce of the most rudimentary order, lacking even a proper story. The original play (of 1932) is almost unrecognisable; though occasional lines of the original corn momentarily but unmistakably shine through the new layers of chaff. The only moments of real brightness, however, are provided by Tony Hancock, a delightful droll as Lt. Cartroad."
Picture Show wrote: "Based on the amusing stage play, this film is at times really hilarious ... Extremely well acted, it is neatly directed."
TV Guide wrote: "except for a couple of decent comic performances, the good cast, including both Peter Sellers and Donald Pleasence in early roles, are wasted by the film's haphazard construction."
Time Out wrote: "just about worth suffering to see Tony Hancock in his film debut as the harassed bandmaster."
