I really wanted to like this movie because of all the great actors. However, it is a totally awful movie. Maybe it was meant to be and was just a showcase for some really awesome talent.
Woody Allen proved to be hilarious in his first starring role. Paula Prentiss was one of the best comediennes of the 1960s. She's definitely the best thing in the movie. Peter Sellers did as good as he could. European beauties Romy Schneider and Capucine were OK. Capucine was a tragic figure with classic French looks and an aloof persona. Ursula Andress has got to be one of the sexiest women of any generation to appear on celluloid. Not much talent, but she didn't need it. Alas, Peter O'Toole was totally miscast in his attempt at comedy. He did much better years later in "My Favorite Year"
But hey, the opening credits were pretty good. And who could not like Tom Jones warbling the title song.
