No Smoking (1955 film)

No Smoking is a 1955 British second feature ('B')[2] comedy film directed by Henry Cass and starring Reg Dixon, Peter Martyn, Belinda Lee and Lionel Jeffries.

[3][4][5] The screenplay was by Kenneth Hayles and Phil Park, based on the 1952 TV play of same title by George Moresby-White and Rex Rienits.

[10] The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "Unfortunately the action does not fizz; the bubbles never quite come to the surface; and there is the inevitable song and dance dream sequence, which might be dispensed with.

Reg Dixon, as the inventor, and Lionel Jeffries, as the village tobacconist, play quite amiably"[11] Kine Weekly wrote: "The picture, a queer mixture of the amateurish and the slick, has its moments, but they barely outweigh its flat spots.

"[12] Picture Show wrote: "Reg Dixon makes one of his rare film appearances in this bright comedy as a chemist who invents an anti-smoking pill.
