    Hilarious movie. The situation these two put themselves into is incredibly funny. James Coburn is great.

    I find myself in a general malaise for lack of decent acting. Yes, 99% I want the cheesiest, most horrid celluloid monster I can find. But sometimes, I need fine acting and all together no special effects. This is a film that delivers on this. James Garner and co. put on an am...( read more)azing performance. This was back in a time here acting was what was done sometimes. I miss it. Funny film. Funny plot. Great acting. I suggest it to anyone who likes older movies.

    Sharon Tate supposedly plays an uncredited, bit role in this film.
