Blu-ray.com. 1 April 2020 . Retrieved 13 October 2020.

The wonderful Irene Handl plays the matriarch of the establishment and there's a host of other very well-loved comedy names in attendance, such as Tommy Godfrey, Alfie Bass, Bob Todd, Henry McGee and Rita Webb.

Well, sure, her, too, but for fans in the United Kingdom in particular MM could just as easily make them think of a woman who was If you are in the North America, look out for US/Canadian flag icons on popular product listings for direct links. I've been fascinated by Mary Millington's life and career since I was a child in the 1970s. I always recall seeing her image on cinema posters when I was very young and wondering who this beautiful blonde woman was. Even at a formative age I knew she was an 'adult actress', but couldn't quite understand how TV favourites like Diana Dors and Irene Handl were co-starring with her in naughty big-screen comedies.
