More a stream of consciousness (recalling Gordon Harker fiddling with a TV set three decades earlier in 'Elstree Calling') than a movie. Shot on a tiny soundstage at Shepperton with almost Caligariesque styalised sets in pastel sixties Eastman Colour.
Few of the guest artists (all obviously miming) are on for more than about two or three minutes; culminating in Freddie and the Dreamers performing the title song.
Although it carried a 'U' certificate in 1964, Talking Pictures preceded it with a disclaimer that some of it might be unsuitable for children; and it starts as it will continue with uncle Sam Costa propped up on a pillow ogling Faye Craig jiggling her hips on a huge colour TV screen far in advance of anything then available to the British public (while Millie's number begins and ends with a close up of her Cathy Gale boots).
