Useless theatre comedy about Caine and Moran hamming it up for laughs that only the cast and crew would find funny. Every cliché from similar movies are here: the camp Nazi, the gangsters, the mix up, the petulant kid, and the deliberate misquoting of Shakespeare. All the usual Dublin locations used in other movies of this kind too. Hyped up on release but forgotten now. Caine's similar film Noises Off is far better.
