Gad, this is an awful waste of time. That this mess passed for farce, wit, and sophistication seems incomprehensible. Except for Aldo Ray, none of the actors seems suited for his role. The script lacks even a faint scent of insight. Blake Edwards made worse films—"The Great Race" and "10"come to mind. Mr. Blake never seems to assume responsibility for his lack of depth or his ineptitude. He ought to have retired with this film. Unfortunately, he did not. He made boring movies.
I find it almost impossible to comprehend that Philippe de Broca's elegant and tender film "King of Hearts" had release the same year as this mess. The worst aspect of the film is the awful score by Henry Mancini. It has nothing to do with war or anything else for that matter.
This picture is simply awful. Avoid it.
