While this movie lacks a bit in plot it has many funny moments that make it worthwhile. Stella Stevens as Violet Lawson is great and the first third of the movie with her in it is the best. Lionel Jeffries is wonderful in all his roles and adds unique touches to his characters that make them much more than a "Peter Sellers copy". The movie is quite silly and very entertaining if you're in a silly mood. It also portrays a bit of Great Britain which is appreciated by some of us who are new to the country. The Brits politeness and courtesy are parodied very well by the insurgents. Who else would serve champaign to a government official they have abducted and left to crash in a plane with no pilot. They're all so bloody nice about it. Keep an eye on Mrs. Tate - she's quite the sneaky little lady! The opera scene contains some unexpected and bizarre hilarity.
