After a mix-up at a music hall, a henpecked bank clerk who lives a dreary existence in suburban London finds himself onstage with ambiguously foreign magician Mendoza, who hypnotizes him into losing all of his inhibitions.
Well -directed farce with good British character actors. Everyone is excellent and plays this frenetic farce for all it's worth. It's dated, of course, but it's a pleasure to watch these people do what they do best. Recommended.
