No Secrets! (1982)
Director: Peter Curran
Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
Dismal would-be comedy laden with patronising post-colonial attitudes (the characters have names like Miss Funnypenny and President P Nutts). When an American spacecraft crash lands in Africa and its crew members are held captive by local tribesmen, officer Reed and commissioner Cushing (looking particularly weary) are the bumbling response despatched by the West. From the lost battalion of unreleased British features, it seems.Author: TJ
