Review
Our Score
by
Jeremy Aspinall
This disappointing comedy caper evidently got the green light due to the popularity of Patrick Macnee's dapper superspy John Steed in
The Avengers
. Unfortunately, this attempt to turn Macnee into an equally charismatic jewel thief just can't compete with its bigger budgeted competition, despite the catchy title track from Lulu and the star's stunning array of flowery shirts. Herbert Lom is good value as the object of Macnee's felonious attentions (in a role similar to the one he played in the Michael Caine caper
Gambit
three years before), but this lacklustre yarn ultimately can't cut it in the excitement or suspense stakes.
Summary
A conman hatches a plan to swindle a corrupt millionaire out of his treasured priceless diamond by claiming to have discovered its twin. However, his plot is disrupted by a rival hustler who comes up with the same idea, and the two crooks must each convince their suspicious target that they can be trusted and the other is lying. Crime drama, starring Patrick Macnee and Connie Stevens.
