An American business tycoon tries to choose a new vice president for his firm in a weekend gathering that soon descends into farce. [4]

Cast

Reception

The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "'You just think of the vice-presidency'; 'Thanks. I'll just think about the vice'. If anything could further nail the coffin lid on such less-than-sparkling badinage, it's the actors concerned doing intermittent imitations of the Marx brothers, stealing at least one cumulative gag from Waiting for Godot , and audibly pausing while notional waves of laughter (in reality, one suspects, as slow off the mark as Godot himself) sweep over the auditorium. All I Want Is You... and You... and You ... comes in limply somewhere between the soft-core porn market and British comedies in the style of On the Buses , leaving one with a distinct impression that the cast enjoyed themselves considerably more than any prospective audience could hope to do."
