is a 1969 British comedy film directed by Peter Coe and starring Christopher Plummer, Susannah York and Glynis Johns.

[6] The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "A lively cast, impeccable production values (notably Peter Suschitzky's camerawork and Alan Barrett's costumes) and confident direction contribute to an entertainment in the tradition of Tom Jones, with the raffish Restoration world of rakes and doxies, beggars and rogues, social-climbing tradesmen and deceitful ladies, depicted with bawdy zest. ...

Susannah York is excellent as the tomboyish Hilaret, while Jan Bannen, Tom Bell and Jim Dale provide clearly contrasted portraits of masculine frustration.

But it is the riper roles which provide the best opportunities: Christopher Plummer as the ineffable Foppington, all towering wigs, ribbons and painted Cupid's bows; Fenella Fielding as Lady Eager, whimpering scarcely audible cries for help when about to be boarded in her bedroom; Fred Emney as a chairborne nobleman whose insolent demand for right of way provokes a magnificent battle with wet codfish.

"[7] In his review in The New York Times, Roger Greenspun wrote: "...a three-strand plot that has been so smothered in atmosphere, activity and authenticity that even the great traditions of theatrical untruth cannot breathe life into it.
