Movie review

From Time Out Film Guide

Sadly, this final movie from Sellers is also one of his worst. Most of the jokes one anticipates seconds before they occur; many are of the ethnic stereotype sort; the visual running gag palls at its second appearance. Co-star Helen Mirren continues her determined bid to give up acting for the role of ripest screen-tease sex object of the '80s.
