In the Benelux, Herman's Hermits is best known for No Milk Today, but in their own country that was not even their biggest hit. They were the Beatles of the Aldi, with the same haircuts and the same jackets. Buoyed by that success, this comedy followed, which took its title from a hit from three years earlier.

Mrs. Brown is both the name of the greyhound, with its slender appearance the real star, and of GG Brown's wife. This fruit seller is played by Stanley Holloway, who, as always, speaks with a Cockney accent and brings up the average acting level. It's not very logical in terms of content. To be able to pay the starting money for their race dog, they form a band. In reality, starting a band is much more expensive than that starting money.

They move from the working-class city of Manchester to swinging London. This leads to a love dilemma. Tulip is the neighbour's girl; Judy Brown the hip model in the capital. It's fun relaxation that teleports you to the fashion, music and carefree optimism of the sixties.
