For some reason, people have this tendency to praise British films to a point that is beyond what they deserve. This certainly is not a bad movie and it does have several interesting and genuinely funny scenes. But, it is not nearly as good as the reviews would indicate. There are several scenes that serve to slow down the story to the point where the movie almost stops dead in it's tracks. The romantic interludes are agonizing in their length and slowness of pace. Far too much is made of Peter Sellers role as the disgraced physician. Yes, he did a good job but, again, his scenes dragged on and were too long. The plot is a very good one and there is some excellent acting by all parties. However, at almost two hours, it is much too long. One half hour could easily have been cut from the length and the pace of the entire film would have been much better.
