[edit] Trivia
A vehicle for Wisdom in which he joins the British Navy, the film is notable for the only occasion where future British film stars Michael Caine and Oliver Reed share a scene together. It takes place in a cinema lobby, where Norman gets into a fight with a gang of Teddy Boys (one of which is played by Reed), only to be helped by some of his sailor friends, which include Caine. William Roache, of Coronation Street fame, also had a bit role.
