Movie review

From Time Out Film Guide

The sole feature film with all four original Goons, going their own sweet way through an absurd plot about foiling crooks who are after an obscure atomic formula. Rickety and pretty juvenile, though Sellers' Major Bloodnok, played more or less straight, is nice. Bentine, as the mad professor, does his stage act with the all-purpose chair-back as part of a show at the army camp. Milligan does his gormless Eccles as a private. Secombe is straight man.
