Reception
The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "A noisy, feeble farce which exploits the old mother-in-law theme twofold, with Marjorie Rhodes as number one, solid and belligerent, and Thora Hird as number two, violently vocal. Glenn Melvyn and Cyril Smith battle with ingenuous, obvious material, but Wilfrid Lawson comes off the best in a characteristic performance as the drunken father."[4]
