Production

It was known as Glamourflage and filming started 4 May 1942.[2] The film's sets were designed by the art director Wilfred Arnold.

Critical reception

The Radio Times gave the film three out of five stars, and wrote "Unlike many stage, radio or television double acts who flounder when put on the big screen, Flanagan and Allen fared rather well as movie stars, and this is a typical effort, combining bright comedy with songs and human interest...Directed with no pretension by John Baxter, who made several of the duo's other popular films, it is an engaging showcase for one of Britain's best-loved song-and-comedy teams."[3]

According to Kinematograph Weekly the film "did not disappoint" at the British box office in December 1942.[4]
