A moderately amusing comedy of mistaken identity, this, but at least you can't accuse it of being too long. Picturesquely set in Venice, it all stems from the confusion surrounding the names Horton, Orton and Lawton, three guests at the same hotel. One (Dudley Moore) is there to buy a villa, the second (Bryan Brown) is a hired assassin and the third (Pie in the Sky's Richard Griffiths) is a north country mayor out for a dirty weekend. All the expected complications with sex and gangsters ensue, but the dialogue has its occasionally happy moments - 'You don't meet many people when you're an assassin' growls Brown to Penelope Wilton, there for a blind date with Griffiths. Neatly constructed and wound up by first-time director Mark Herman, the script mixes titters and tedium in about equal proportions. Of the cast, Wilton steals the show as the spinster whose toothy exterior conceals a spine of steel.
