Movie review

From Time Out Film Guide

This time round, Renato (still phlegmatic and long-suffering) and Albin (still squawking like a constipated parrot) find themselves on the run from the macho world of spy rings, counter-espionage, and all manner of things that go wrong on the night. It's a finely timed and often hilarious airy-fairy farce, full of ironies with so many twists that they make Chubby Checker look like a slide rule.
