Howard Morrison plays himself and as such comes across on screen as naturally as if he were sitting right opposite you.” The film also features: Kiri Te Kanawa, Normie Rowe, Rim D Paul, Eddie Lowe, the Quin Tikis, Kerri Summers and Ernie Leonard.</div> <div> This light-hearted comedy with music is best described as a tonic film that doesn't let the blues get you. When it finishes, you feel as if the time has gone too fast and you leave the theatre wanting to see it all over again.</div> <div> "A fast-moving, tuneful film, made with enough cinematic savvy to reflect, for the eye, the jumpy rhythms that crowd the soundtrack.  <I><B>Don't Let It Get You</B></I> is a coup for the director-cameraman team of John O'Shea and Anthony Williams. Locationed mainly in Rotorua, a New Zealand tourist mecca with geysers, boiling mud pools and Maoris (the country's native Polynesian people) the picture, though shot in black and white, is an interesting eyeful from the opening frames." </div> <div> <B>Variety, 23/11/1966</B> </div> <div> Producer/Director: John O'Shea </div> <div> Photography: Tony Williams</div> <div> Camera assistants: Michael Seresin, Patrick O'Shea</div> <div> Screenplay: Joseph Musaphia</div> <div> Editor: John O'Shea, Tony Williams (music)</div> <div> Music Composed & Conducted by: Patrick Flynn</div> <div> Design: Patrick Hanly</div> <div> Other artists featured: Carmen Duncan, Normie Rowe, Kiri Te Kanawa, Harry Lavington, Alma Woods, Tanya Binning, </div> <div> Ernie Leonard, Rim D.
