Synopsis:

Dambusters legend Richard Todd turned his talents to comedy to play a philandering travel agent with too many girlfriends for his own safety in this delightful romantic romp of 1961. Executive-produced by Todd and co-written by Oscar winner Frederic Raphael, Don't Bother to Knock also features Golden Globe winner and Playboy sensation Elke Sommer, June Thorburn, John Le Mesurier and Nicole Maurey among a high-calibre international cast. The film is presented here in a brand-new transfer from the original elements, in its as-exhibited theatrical aspect ratio. Bill Ferguson's troubles begin when he mislays the key to his flat, and a friend helpfully presents him with several more with his name and address attached. Sentimentally, he gives one to each of the glamorous girls he meets on a Continental holiday all of whom turn up at his flat, just as he is about to marry his British fiancee!

Three elderly ladies tire of living in an old people's home and when they heard that they are about to be separated, they make a bid for freedom. They escape to an island off the Irish coast and are about to occupy a group of cottages when the owner, an Irish millionaire, just returned from making his fortune in America, appears on the scene.
