Interesting facts

Man About the House is a 1974 British comedy film directed by John Robins and starring Richard O'Sullivan, Paula Wilcox, Sally Thomsett, Yootha Joyce and Brian Murphy. It was written by Johnnie Mortimer and Brian Cooke based on the ITV sitcom of the same name (1973–1976), starring the same main cast.

Production

The film started shooting in March 1974 at Elstree Studios in London, finishing on 12 April.

It was the last in a series of big screen adaptations of popular television comedies made by Hammer Films, although a film of George & Mildred (featuring Yootha Joyce and Brian Murphy in the title roles) was made in 1980 by another studio.

The plot of the film hinted at the story arc of the TV versions of Man About the House and George and Mildred, where the Ropers' building was eventually subject to a compulsory purchase order forcing them to move.
