Arguably the funniest of the four famous Hui brothers, Michael Hui Kwun-man has a tour-de-force vehicle in this naughty little comedy. Playing four different characters each of whom find themselves in compromising situations, Hui pulls out all the stops as a hack newspaperman with a voyeuristic streak, a doctor who allows himself to be seduced by a patient's advances and a scheming gambling addict who loses big. The laughs come big and hearty as Hui bounces his cheeky humour off a large terrific supporting cast including the sophisticated Hu Chin, the lovely Pai Hsiao-man as well as Paul Chang Chung and Hu Yin-yin playing them. And keeping the Benny Hill-style hi-jinks afloat is stalwart Shaw Brothers director Li Han-hsiang who manages to switch flawlessly between these cheeky flings and his period epics.
