Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe long nonsense word that Peter Sellers says during his scene is actually the name of a Welsh town, known for being the longest place name anywhere: Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch.
- GoofsVisiting a Tibetan monastery in 1962 would have been utterly impossible. Following the 1959 Tibetan revolt, Mao's Great Leap forward had the monasteries forcibly closed at the cost of up to 200,000 Tibetan lives and utterly isolated the entire country.
- Quotes
Harry Turner: Chester, I give you my SOLEMN word. THIS time it's not dangerous.
Chester Babcock: Not dangerous?
Harry Turner: No.
Chester Babcock: That's what 'cha said when you shot me out of a cannon, when you dropped me in a tank with an octopus, when you had me wrestle a gorilla. It's not dangerous! I'm not goin'. I'm through. I've had it. So forget it, *Charly*!
- Crazy credits"And our very special cup of tea DOROTHY LAMOUR"
- ConnectionsEdited from Black Narcissus (1947)
The plot was REALLY silly and involves the boys in espionage with Joan Collins along for the ride and a (surprisingly) very bad job by Robert Morley as the lead villain. Dorothy Lamour decided to not costar in this one but she does pop up (playing herself) in an amusing cameo and sings one song (Cosby sings too). There's also a really silly and pointless bit when Cosby and Hope are sent to outer space. And the ending is desperate.
Still, it was well-made and Cosby and Hope were a wonderful team--their easy banter is great to watch and they made the worst lines seem funny. Also it's fun to see Collins (who's quite good) so young and full of sex appeal.
So, it's enjoyable way to kill 90 minutes. I'm seen better but I've seen worse too.
