Drew S I don't know what I liked the most, the beautiful Britt Ekland or the classic Maserati she lands blackmailing the owner of the dealership? It's nice to dream... Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 09/03/24 Full Review Audience Member I enjoy watching this film. Wish it would be restored and released in the US on DVD at least.

Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member For Peter Sellers fans especially, this "comedic" adventure places Sellers as a singing man. He looks for work only to find himself on a job seeking the hand of a lady (who, incidently, turned out to be his real wife in reality).

That Sellers was ever married to Britt Ekland is amazing to me. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Audience Member When Britt Ekland rubs herself against, lies on top of ,& caresses the Maserati,(I can relate to that)even I fell in Love with Her Supreme Shallowness a bit! This one is great Stylish, Silly Fun.Britt Ekland as Olimpia The Relentless Gold Digging Flirt of Barcelona, who Toy's with Men for the things they can give her, but she has no intention of giving anything of herself back, & would rather resort to Black Mail to get everything she wants.Peter Sellers plays Juan,a bumbling,Cheese Sandwich eating, Inept Matador who will earn a Coveted Singing Job if he can seduce her.In this Three day Seduction where he misleads her to thinking she's having a Rendezvous with a Count, there is a very funny dance scene where he is on his knees with his Matador Cape , hysterical.This Women's Wrath will leave him Died Blue! Very Funny in the "Peter Sellers Style" .It must have been fun to be him, a career based on Neurotic Genius Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Read all reviews
