Interesting facts

Not Now, Comrade is a 1976 British comedy film directed by Ray Cooney and Harold Snoad and starring Leslie Phillips, Windsor Davies, Don Estelle and Ian Lavender. It was shot at Elstree studios as the sequel to Not Now, Darling (1973), and was the second in an intended series of "Not Now" films, with Not Now, Prime Minister pencilled in as a follow-up. But box office returns for this film, unlike those of its predecessor, were disappointing. It was the only feature film directed by Snoad.

Production

Not Now Darling had been financed by Tigon Pictures who went broke. Not Now Comrade was financed by EMI. Richard Stone, an agent, wrote about the film that "Bernie Delfont, now at EMI, backed us, but it was a stinker!"

The film was shot at Elstree Studios in March 1976.
