At the beginning of the film, we find her naive, spontaneous, and perhaps overly in love with her audience. But after a big-time producer has signed her for his glamorous revue show, she turns cold, slightly bitchy, and even contemptuous of her public...
...Knack . . . and how to get it, as film comedies go, is too clever for its own good. Based on Ann Jellicoe's giddy, free-spirited play-still bouncing along off-Broadway-The Knack tells of a provincial lass (Rita Tushingham) at large in London who stumbles into a house occupied by three oddball bachelors.

Actually, Yvette conceals her social liabilities behind a peekaboo brogue and matching hairdo...
Sporting a pepper-red wig, a low English accent, and the ever-ready air of a lass who welcomes surprise, Kim is pinched, pursued, manhandled, and upended at regular intervals. She excels in barroom brawls and petticoat larceny: popping a gentleman's ring onto her tongue, she kisses him until he has to surface, then drops the gem into her decolletage...
