"A prurient but engaging comedy
of sexual morals and mistaken identity" - Time Out
Peter and
Frances Hunter are devoted newly-weds who become the innocent
recipients of a growing flood of pornography. Their frantic
efforts to rid themselves of the stuff under the noses of highly
respectable acquaintances provide the basic comedy situation.The
dialogue is disappointingly pedestrian, but this is amply compensated
for by plenty of swift action, particularly in the second act,
when the various characters move in and out of numerous doors with
bewildering rapidity, each "near miss" heightening the comedy in the
best traditions of farce. - The Stage
