This is one of those that should have been lost in the mists of time. The whole idea seems to be how funny it is that Connie Booth and John Cleese are naked, but not supposed to be, in a lead up to a formal event. It simply doesn't work, and what's more I suspect it didn't work in 1975 when it was made. The humour is arch and 'daring' but not. Mr Cleese uses his usual stock of mannerisms and Connie Booth has a very nice body, but I suspect nobody cared if she could act or not. It's schoolboy humour, but not for grownups. British humour is usually known for its wit and silliness, neither of which are present in this. Disappointing.
