Not Now Darling trivia

The film is based on Ray Cooney and John Chapman's stage comedy of the same name.

Co-directed by Cooney and David Croft, the film's setting is confined almost exclusively to the four walls of an upmarket West End shop - and was filmed at roughly the same time as the pilot episode for a television sitcom with a remarkably similar set, of which Croft was also producer and director: Are You Being Served?.
