It must have been very frustrating for the cast of accomplished British comedy performers, let alone for international stars Claudia Cardinale and Mylène Demongeot, to have watched all their efforts here being frittered away by such dull leads as Michael Craig and Anne Heywood.
As newlyweds Richard and Kate Barry who are searching for the perfect servant, they are the weak link in every scene.
But with a touch of tunnel vision you can still enjoy seeing Cardinale as Maria the man-mad maid; Joan Hickson as secret tippler, Rosemary; Joan Sims as Blodwen the timid Welsh nanny; Sid James as put-upon bobby PC Edwards and Demongeot as Ingrid, a Pollyanna-like au pair.
