Plot Summary

When a group of Britons on a tour of the galaxy accidentally land on a seemingly idyllic planet, they quickly discover that its inhabitants are not what they appear to be. The planet, ruled by a benevolent Queen, is revealed to have a sinister secret about its 'perfect' society. The adventurers must find a way to escape before they become permanent residents.

Critical Reception

The film was a modest British comedy that capitalized on the popularity of its lead actors. While it offered some lighthearted sci-fi escapism and gentle satire, it was generally considered a B-movie with predictable gags and a somewhat silly premise. Audiences familiar with the actors' previous work found some amusement, but critical reception was lukewarm at best.

What Reviewers Say

  • A lightweight, somewhat dated sci-fi comedy with familiar comedic actors.
  • Relies heavily on the charm of its British cast for its humor.
  • Offers a quirky, if not entirely groundbreaking, alien world.

Google audience: Audience reviews are scarce for this older film, but general sentiment suggests it's a quirky, low-budget sci-fi comedy that appeals to fans of British humor from the era.

Fun Fact

The film was originally intended to be a vehicle for the emerging 'Carry On' film series actors before evolving into its own production.
