Reception
Kine Weekly wrote: "Comedy extravaganza, a popular type of leg show well sprinkled with breezy fun. The picture provides half-an hour's diversion and should make a useful supporting attraction for the masses. Ken Douglas patterns his performance on well-established music hall lines, but, nevertheless, scores the laughs, as Benny. Betty Norton is adequate as Janet, and the supporting players enter into the spirit of the entertainment with enthusiasm. This comedy, which is an excuse to exploit lightly clad damsels, is quite a useful effort as leg shows go, and is bolstered up with plenty of popular knockabout fooling. The fun is kept up at an even pace, and succeeds in whiling away half an hour. The sun-bathing sequences are well decked with lightly-clad girls. There is a little music and dancing and a bathing pool which allows for slapstick sequences." [3]
Picturegoer wrote: "A comedy of very meagre idea which exists almost solely to exploit lightly clad women – in other words, a leg show. The legs are supported by knockabout fooling in sun-bathing and bathing-pool sequences, assisted by some music and dancing. Ken Douglas works on music-hall lines and scores his laughs from the dialogue and accepted medium of that class of entertainment rather than from any kinematic cleverness." [4]
The Daily Film Renter wrote: "Skit on sun bathing cult approached from comedy angle with prim M.P. 'investigating' conditions in a sun colony in silk hat and bathing costume. Quantities of pretty girls bathing and dancing, and slender story of young couple blackmailing the investigating M.P. into permitting – and financing – their wedding. Treated rather in musical comedy vein, its appeal is to lighter-hearted patrons of not too captious a calibre." [5]
