Critical response

Monthly Film Bulletin said "One mildly curious aspect of this wearisomely witless slice of knockabout is the range of institutions which have apparently consented to appear, but wind up receiving some decidedly dubious publicity. The Daily Mirror supposedly perpetrates a gross example of journalistic malpractice; at the Royal Garden Hotel, a waiter not only cadges openly for a tip but is then disparaging to the guest; and at the Raymond Revuebar, a customer is obliged to flee in peril from a performer (though to judge by the tedious acts on show, this might come as something of a relief)."^[3]
