Almost one of Sellers' best films!
I would have to rate this film as "almost" one of Peter Sellers' best movies...why "almost"? The ending was very contrived...as if no one could think of a good ending, so they just ended it...period. The rest of this movie is completely hilarious...a never ending romp with Sellers giving it everything he had. Also, I have to say that Victor Mature gave a stellar performance as the aging American movie star. He not only poked fun at himself, but did it with great gusto. Watch the scene where he begs his agent/manager to punch him in the stomach to prove that he is still a macho he-man...I almost fell off the couch at that one. As one person said, this is a very Italian picture, but anyone who loves great comedy will enjoy it. I gave it 9 stars...I would've given it 10 except that the ending left me flat. Other than that, this is the equal of the "Pink Panther" series.score 9/10
