Aroview: Bawdy picaresque revolves around the romantic misadventures of switched-at-birth servant. Chief amongst his concerns are the unwelcome advances of his lecherous employer Lady Booby.

Handsomely mounted romp isn't that far removed from the CARRY ON films with many scenes descending into knock around bedroom farce. Doomed to suffer by comparison with TOM JONES dir. RIchardson's second Henry Fielding adaptation none the less has its charms.
