Take a Powder

Meanwhile, Maxie, a market trader quack seeing selling his "Cure-All Atomic Powder" is mistaken for Schultz and put in charge of the hospital.

"[3] Kine Weekly wrote: "The picture is little more than an inflated music-hall sketch and there is more than enough of Max Bacon, who overworks solecisms, as Maxie, but Maudie Edwards, amusing as the matron, Fred Kitchen, jun., an effective foil as an inhibited medico, and Isabel George and Neville Gates, adequate as Betty and Bill, make the most of the by-play.

Featuring Max Bacon, this film attempts to parody conventional atomic spy melodrama, but soon gets trapped in a county hospital and endlessly walks the white corridors in a vain search for laughs and thrills.

Max Bacon, cast as a travelling medicine man mistaken for a well-known scientist, bores with the laboured wisecracks the script has given him.
