It was written by Peter Sellers, along with Graham Stark and David Lodge. It was a strong influence on Lester's later film A Hard Day's Night starring The Beatles.
It was originally filmed over two Sundays in 1959, at a total price of £70 - five pounds of which involved rental of a field for use.
It was nominated for an Academy Award, but did not win. It is available on some copies of the A Hard Day's Night DVD, and featured in The Unknown Peter Sellers.
