What is so annoying about this film is that so much talent gets completely wasted. Frank and Dino play more or less variations of themselves and demand devoted admiration from anybody else, especially the chicks. Hints at self-irony are so understated that it gives the impression "we may poke fun at ourselves but we really do think that we are absolutely fabulous". In other words: this is a typically vain rat-pack effort.
Looking at the remaining cast: Charles Bronson plays his villain straight, but too straight: this is a comedy after all, and he appears to have entered the frame from a different picture. The only creditable performances belong to the reliable Victor Buono, and to Ursula Andress who is simply ravishing, easily out-shining Anita Ekberg.
