I've always been a Peter Sellers fan; this movie is almost too funny. It features several running gags in Sellers previous movies and the multiple personalities with amazing transformations created by Sellers. The plot of the movie involves hiding a crime in plain sight. Surrounding the plot is a spoof of 1960's era Italian art house movies including one of its leading directors, Vittorio de Sica. Victor Mature plays the over the hill Hollywood actor with brilliant self parody, Britt Eklund plays Seller's star struck younger sister who "never misses" with the thrown crockery during their spats. Martin Balsam plays the hard boiled Hollywood agent. <br /> <br />One of the funniest bit parts in the movie has Sellers slipping into a restaurant with a group of tourists and planning the crime with Akim Tamaroff playing ventriloquist at an adjoining table while Maria Grazia Buccella, the Miss Italy 1959, plays his live sock puppet with Sellers. <br /> <br />I loved it.

And fun. There must be lots of fun. If a film director came to your tiny forgotten town and shouted that he needed the entire community as his extras, what would you do? Everyone wants their moment of fame, and that means everyone. So what, you never heard of him. This man is a genius. Aldo Vanucci, alias The Fox, counts on this to carry out his plan to recover stolen gold. With the help of The Fox's gang and his sister who wants to be an actress, two confederates arrange for delivery of the stolen gold during the filming. Of course nothing goes as planned, or so we're led to believe. Peter Sellers is the thief with a tender heart for his family. Martin Balsam, Akim Tamiroff and Britt Eklund pull off great performances. Lydia Brazzi is gorgeous. Victor Mature (that blinding smile!) is the scene stealer starring as the aging heart throb who refuses to give in to the inevitable. Even the director, Vittorio De Sica, gets in on the acting-he's in one of my favorite scenes. This film is over-the-top comedy that will keep you giggling throughout with subtle jokes that poke fun at life, people, and their need to succeed. This is a sterling example of real comedy and all types of actors at their best.
