McGee Facts about this film
- Henry can boost to have appeared in the
longest running West End film (4 years from 1977-81),
although this is largely due to the 'raincoat brigade'.
- Irene Handl also appeared with Henry in Digby,
the Biggest Dog in the World
- Look out for fellow Benny Hill players, the
lovely Rita Webb and the brilliant Bob Todd.
- The 1st Deputy Prime Minister of the UK was
Clement Atlee (1942-1945)

It's the late 70's and new breed of film is hitting the cinema. Many remember
the sexy antics of the "Carry On" films, but there was newer, ruder,
filthier and cruder format of British films that featured comedy, fused with
full-frontal nudity and soft-core pornography. A new certificate was even
created by the UK censors for this genre of film...the now famous "X"
certificate. The film is set in a health
farm in Scotland, although the setting and the plot are largely inconsequential
to this movie. The film is most famous for making a star of Mary Millington
(Sue), who
was queen of the British soft-core scene at the time, before tragically
committing suicide a year later in 1978. Alfie Bass (Kelly) and Irene
Handl (Lady Bovington) also star
in the movie providing the comedic content with Henry. Henry
actually plays the Deputy Prime Minister in this movie. Allegedly
there are hard-core scenes which were never included in the release. We look
forward to the DVD release.
