British actors peter sellers and spike milligan. The first 25 minutes, it's mostly a bunch of silly vaudeville bits, some of them even silent movie type gags, where the piano plays as the physical slapstick humor is shown. Now, we finally see a plot begin to unfurl. Harry (secombe) has won the sweepstakes, and a flim flam artist (sellers, playing two different roles) is out to find the stash of money. Then more vaudeville bits under the guise of a hypnotist. There are about 40 minutes of actual story, and another 40 of filler and silliness. The first feature film directed by tony young. It's all ridiculous and amateur hour. Can't really recommend this one, although it is early sellers and milligan, so their fans should see it, for historical reasons.
