the amorous prawn is a fairly undistinguished 1950s - style british comedy (although made in the early sixties). despite the title, no crustaceans are involved, amorous or otherwise. this shouldn' t really surprise: there was a bit of a fashion for interesting titles which turns out to refer to something quite mundane. often they would be the name of a place, quite frequently a pub or hotel, or perhaps a boat. the green man, for instance (quite a fun little film), has a title which refers to a seaside hotel where the final act takes place. so here the prawn in question is merely the nickname of a character who becomes pivotal late in the film .

the galas do make a brief appearance during the opening credits of the film. the film editor maybe decided they should use the strategy that later worked so well for ed sullivan and the beatles - - show the stars at the beginning so the audience will wait patiently for them to appear again at the end. and this shot from the opening sequence is the highlight for cj - 3b fans, as the string of galas passes a parked 3b .

parker produces one of his typical, bumbly performances, but joan greenwood, as his wife, is not so peppily in character as she normally is in this sort of drawing room farce. ian carmichael does a shrewd job as the wily corporal who becomes maitre d hotel in the scheme while liz fraser and bridget armstrong provide some pulchritude .
