This is a bit of an one-joke comedy, this - but the combined efforts of the actors just about keep it moving along without too many cringes. "Murdoch Troon" (Stanley Baxter) is involved in a collision with the wealthy "Chingford" (James Robertson Justice) that ultimately involves his introduction to the latter man's daughter "Claire" (Julie Christie). She determines to wean our young Scotsman off his bike and into a nice red sports car provided by his rather shady pal "Freddie Fox" (Terry-Thomas). He duly acquiesces, now being pretty keen on the young lady, but faces a couple of issues. Firstly, he hasn't a clue how to drive the thing and secondly, her father fancies him for a bit of a twit. It's essentially a rather ramshackle comedy with a plot full of holes and inconsistencies. That said, it is entirely character driven by the three gents (Christie features only sparingly, and with little dialogue when she does) who offer us some enjoyable, light-hearted shenanigans that indicated they were having some fun along the way, too. Ken Annakin also recruited the always enjoyable to watch Kathleen Harrison, and there is some mischief to be had with some golfers too. Forgettable, certainly, but still an amiable watch.
