    • Trivia
      While filming a night scene in Piccadilly Circus, Writer and Director Michael Winner set off an unannounced smoke bomb, causing horrendous traffic jams, after which he sped off in a taxi with the film magazine, leaving other members of the crew to be arrested. This incident caused such resentment that for many years afterwards permission to film there was denied. John Landis' "An American Werewolf in London (1981)" was the first to be allowed to do so.
    • Goofs
      The Union Jack in the very first scene/shot is upside down.
    • Quotes

      Brigadier: [indignant] This is a bomb scare, man, not the Queen's birthday!

    From the best years of Comedy
    Like another of the commenters, I saw this film on the late night telly. I loved it all the way, and as an American, managed to appreciate some of the British humor. One joke, in particular, that made me laugh up a storm was when some guy tries to explain the bomb plantings by blaming it on "the Mafia." Michael Crawford sniggers, "Surbiton branch?" I recommend this film to anyone who wants to be entertained by one of the first films in what would become the best years of British comedy.
