There's a reason we never see this shown on ANY channel.... it's just really poor direction. Using the circus background music when people trip... a trick usually saved for movies aimed at children. And for the first half hour, hoffman yells his lines at the microphone. When madigan (cesar romero) is sent back to italy, the feds still want to find out what happened to the cash he stole in the united states. In an early film role, dustin hoffman is fister, the fed official, trying to track down madigan and the missing money. But he's a goof up, pink panther style. Or matt helm. But the awful script and direction just aren't up to even those standards. Where is the missing money? Some great shots of what the coliseum looked like in 1966. Directed by giorgio gentili and filmed in italy and spain. Although wikipedia says the director is standley prager. Odd. Wasn't prager the broadway show director?? Wikipedia also tells us this was filmed in 1966, but not released until 1968. That alone was a warning sign. One of three films directed by gentili. And now we know why! It's just very barely okay. Mostly interesting as how hoffman got his start.
