Benny Hill's hilarious movie debut from the screenwriter of the Lavender Hill Mob.
Benny Hill stars as Hugo Dill, an inept ice rink attendant, amateur detective and extremely clumsy master of disguise. But when Hugo stumbles into an international espionage plot, he's soon over his head in a crazy case of mistaken identity, murderous spies, a bumbling romance with a beautiful strongwoman (Belinda Lee) and a top secret machine that can control the world's weather. David Kossoff (The Mouse that Roared) co-stars in this Ealing Studios slapstick hit directed by Basil Dearden (Dead of Night) and written by T.E.B. Clarke, the screenwriter of The Lavender Hill Mob and Passport to Pimlico.
BONUS: This DVD also includes the rarely seen 1971 short film The Waiters starring Benny and David Battley as a disastrous pair of servers who destroy a posh dinner party. Benny Hill Show regulars Pamela Cundell, Jan Butlin and Arthur Hewlett co-star in this dialogue-free half-hour of cheeky mayhem written by Benny Hill himself.
