A down-trodden clerk finds newfound fame as the director of a racy lingerie firm, after an innocent encounter with a fast woman is misreported and earns him the reputation of a suburban Romeo.
The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "A light-hearted, heavy-handed domestic comedy, with the satirical point that the way to success is to acquire an undeserved reputation as a philanderer. Charles Victor and Marjorie Rhodes give amusing 'character' performances, but the rest of the cast, including Frances Day, exhibit no striking aptitude."[4]
TV Guide wrote that a "good performance by Victor and an intelligent script lift this one above the ranks."[5]
The film historians Steve Chibnall and Brian McFarlane wrote: "The film is quite neatly structured but, without the coherence which Victor's sympathetic understanding of the central character gives, it would seem much thinner than it does. Its comedy centres on the drabness of an oppressive domestic situation and, in the flowering of George Potter, what may be lost in unthinking conformity to a routine."[6]
