Feb 27, 2024 · A romantically active travel agent gives several women the keys to his flat, and ends up trying to prevent them from meeting each other. Starring: Richard Todd, Elke Sommer, Judith Anderson. Contains: Sexual References.
Overview. An Edinburgh travel agent loses his keys and his fiancé in one night. A friend finds the keys and makes loads of copies with his address attached as a joke. She gives them to him as he leaves for a holiday. He gives the keys to several women he romances across the continent.
The film is beautiful to look at with great location sequences, lush sets and gorgeous outfits for the girls. Sadly, there are not many laughs to be had and pint-sized Todd seems ill-suited to the lead role. Released in the US as Why Bother to Knock to avoid confusion with a 1952 film starring Marilyn Monroe which had the same title. Bill Ferguson
