This film was released to coincide with the 1959 General election.This gives an idea of the level of political satire prior to the arrival of TWTWTW on BBC TV.In fact the writers choose to become more involved in romantic conflict rather than political conflict,and it all turns about,excuse the pun,rather laboured.What makes this worse is the fact that there is an excellent supporting cast,including Gordon Barker in his last role.It has to be said that the two leads are pretty indifferent,and Alistair SIM only appears sporadically.Barker and Wattis have the best lines as the two party agents. Wattis are good as the party agents.
