    • Trivia
      The opening titles and a portion of the first scene of this movie appear on the Monty Python and the Holy Grail (1975) Special Edition DVD; a voice is eventually heard mumbling that it is the wrong movie, and Holy Grail starts instead.
    • Goofs
      When Jill is in the bath advertising "Proudfoot's Pink Pierre", there is a large mirror behind her. When she stands up, it's gone.
    • Crazy credits
      The end credits are shown over Richard Wattis walking with sandwich boards advertising the toothpaste. When he turns to face the camera, the front board says 'The End'. He continues to walk towards the camera until the words on the board fill the screen.

    Saturday Matinee Fodder

    Silliness abounds in this comic affront to British advertising. Beckwith, an ad executive, enlists the services of wacky dentists, Monkhouse and Stevens, to revive the sagging sales of a toothpaste. They invent a new wonder toothpaste and their nutty attempts at promoting the product comprise the rest of the film.

    Not better -or worse- than the average 50s/60s comedies. Although I expected Norman Wisdom coming in and shout "Mr Grimsdale!!!!"
