Accident-prone Gil wants a steady job but is dismissed by every company that recruits him due to his unfortunate habit of ending up in sexually embarrassing situations. His girlfriend Annette says that she will marry him only if he can stay employed for at least a week.
Hired by Mr Grimwood's cleaning company "Here To Service You", Gil is unwittingly drawn into a series of bawdy misadventures: sharing a bath with a married woman and getting caught by her husband; having a threesome with a hospital patient and a woman doctor, followed by a foursome with Annette, Grimwood and a woman psychologist; awkward encounters with a gay man and a lesbian; and getting caught by Annette playing strip poker with a group of women.
Incredibly, Gil remains in his job, so Annette asks Grimwood to fire him, not knowing that Gil's employer wants to seduce her himself. Gil foils this plot and Annette marries him, but before the couple can have their wedding night Gil collapses on the bed and passes out from exhaustion.
Elton Hawke, who is listed as a producer on the movie, is a pseudonym used by Kent Walton and Hazel Adair. Walton was a British television sports commentator, and Adair was the co creator of the soap opera Crossroads.[2] The revelation was first broadcast in a 1975 episode of the TV documentary series Man Alive.[3]
The Northern Echo said the film was a "ghastly near–blue bore",[5] while Time Out Magazine called it an "embarrassing British sex comedy", and were also surprised "that it took as long as 12 days to shoot," [6] and the Dorset Echo commented that it was just "yet another in an ever growing line of British sex comedies."[7] Author Robert Murphy opined that it was an "endearing innocent sex–comedy that Atkinson directs with breezy good humour, and the film was a box–office success."[8]
