Only three other user reviews here which surprises me considering Kenneth More's popularity in the 1950's.
I have to agree that the film is no more than amusing when viewed today and even grates at times.
Ken remains one of my favourite actors and I still really enjoy my large DVD collection of his films.
That said , they are not all as good as "Genevieve","Doctor in the House","Reach For the Sky","The Admirable Crichton" ''North West Frontier" etc.and I must admit that "Raising a Riot" depends entirely on Ken's undeniable charm which is an unreasonable ask. The only copy I could acquire is of very poor picture quality ; a re-mastered edition may help.
If you are a Kenneth More fan like me , watch "Raising a Riot" then follow it up with one of his better films.
