A British-American action comedy. A story about spies who force two British con men to pose as look-alike scientists peddling cheap-energy fusion. This is a hectic caper with farcical overtones. The job of the two leads was to convince us that their characters had con-artist identical doubles but, alas, it is not at all convincing. It plays out like an overlong misbegotten stage farce with its numerous costume changes, props, corny jokes, poor pacing, and cut-price musical score. Nonetheless, there is a vicarious pleasure of watching pals Roger Moore and Michael Caine having fun because they have a good chemistry. One can believe the press reports that there was a stagehand at the ready popping the cork every time director Michael Winner shouted "cut".
