Critical reception

The Radio Times gave the film three out of five stars, and wrote "Unlike many stage, radio or television double acts who flounder when put on the big screen, Flanagan and Allen fared rather well as movie stars, and this is a typical effort, combining bright comedy with songs and human interest...Directed with no pretension by John Baxter, who made several of the duo's other popular films, it is an engaging showcase for one of Britain's best-loved song-and-comedy teams."[2]

gollark: Every iteration of the loop it calls next() on the range object returned from range() and binds the return value of that to the variable i.
gollark: But that happens anyway. i += 1 at the end does nothing whatsoever.
gollark: Why do you do i += 1 at the end of the loop?
gollark: The deadline is probably a lie.
gollark: Great!
