One of the all-time worst.
Jeffrey M. Anderson, Combustible Celluloid
The worst thing about both films is the fact that the bulk of them feature people in rooms, talking and talking.
Ken Hanke, Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)
Maybe, but they couldn't save the film.
Bob Bloom, Journal and Courier (Lafayette, IN)
Too bad!!

Ok, yeah it's bad. It's incoherent for the most part and the real plot of the thing doesn't kick in until halfway through while the rest of the time is filled up with wraparounds that have no bearing on the story and are there soley to fatten the film out to a specific length.

They did do that thing the title says they did. But when they filmed it, it turned out to be too short, so several years later unrelated parties filmed some extra barely related spy footage and tacked it on to the beginning of the original. The result is one of the most boring and confusing movies ever made, with only some outstandingly hammy acting by Hitler's mute head (carefully preserved in a pickle jar) enlivening things at the very end.

AKA from a writer's smelly ass.
