"What a superb film in my opinion difficult to beat. The British system slyly used to the main characters advantage . Alan Bates and Denholm Elliot excel in this classy tongue in cheek rendition of how to succeed. A film worthy of release particularly since the demise of both main stars...."

On the commentary track for Saint Jack (1979), director Peter Bogdanovich said he became a huge fan of Denholm Elliott after watching this film, which was before he became a director. He cast Elliott in an important co-starring role in Noises Off... (1992), which was his last film.
