- TriviaIn the UK version of the film, Sally Geeson wears a bra in the hotel bedroom scene. In the German version, she is topless.
- GoofsBoom mike visible just before the lift arrives.
- Alternate versionsTo receive 'U' certificate in 1969 the UK theatrical release was cut by the BBFC and removed all topless shots of Nikki in the bath, plus additional cuts to Nikki and Bartlett's bedroom scene, shots of hippie youths kissing and necking, and Bartlett discovering Nikki and a male lover in bed together (an even shorter version was later prepared for a 'U' VHS certificate and received heavier cuts, but got a 'PG' rating). The 1986 Krypton video release (as "Girl Trouble") was a 15 minute shorter print (possibly the 'U' certificate version), and the 1999 video/2007 DVD releases both feature the original cut 1969 'U' certificate version (but with a modern 'PG' rating).

Featured review
Norman Wisdom meets the hippies
Sod yer Jodorowsky's or David Lynch's – is this not the strangest movie ever made? Actually, the Jerry Lewis comedy Slapstick of Another Kind probably takes that honour – but this comes close.
From purveyor of violent kitsch Menahem Golan, this sees mild-mannered banker Timothy Bartlett (Wisdom, in his final film) getting turned on by the flower power generation, including a scrumptious Sally Geeson, down at the 'Screaming Apple' Discotheque and having it off with them to a grooveadelic soundtrack by The Pretty Things.
Unlike the reactionary Carry Ons there's not a euphemism in sight: here it's all, "Do you want to have sex?", though at the same time this utterly encapsulates the British reality of sex in a Rita and Sue kinda way: however day-glo the trousers, or far-out the argot, the end result still spells a good-old bunk-up with giggling and Y-fronts in a Southport hotel room.
Fascinating in all sorts of ways; and ultimately, surprisingly smart and touching, too.
