In the scene where Robert is conducting the Brass Band, a picture of a Mexican (Mr.
Tuttle dressed-up) and a dog (Dinky) is visible.
These two characters don't appear until later in the picture and Robert only sees the picture for the 'first time' at Mrs.
Blossom's picture exhibition after that.
When Mrs Blossom meets Mr Tuttle they play a game of snooker.
The last ball potted is shown, a green ball.
In snooker the last ball is always black.
There is no reason that they were not playing according to the rules.
A relic of its time this poorly conceived so called comedy coupled with Sweet Charity and several other losers killed off Shirley's film career the first time around. Within two years she was finished on screen and was out of pictures for almost a decade until her comeback in The Turning Point.
You get the feeling that the writers have decided to do a homage to Joe Orton.This is one of a showy bunch of films made by American companies in the UK in the sixties.
This movie is about color, rhythm, blossoms, visual wit, vibrant states of mind love, and being in love all over the place. And wonderfulness.
Shirley MacLaine stars as the wife of brassiere magnate Richard Attenborough. Happily married if somewhat lonely, she ends up sleeping with James Booth, a fellow who works for her husband who swings by to help her fix the sewing machine.
Robert Blossom, an English brassiere manufacturer, is a perfectionist. His designs are always being updated so that ladies buying the product will get the best use of it.
Gotta just love this swinging feast of fun and frolics. Jam packed visual gags oodles of charm.
In 1968 I worked as a projectionist. I saw thousands of movies.
I found the film extremely hard to watch. I saw it on Netflix and I kept stopping it after fifteen or twenty minutes and resuming it the next day until I got through the whole thing.
I teach a high-school Film History class and use this movie to give the students a real taste of the 60's. London is the setting for this film, and London was the THE happening place in 1968.
