A light-hearted caper thriller that makes adequate entertainment but hardly comes up to the standard of the same writer's `Charade'. The story is something about crooks involved with banking and silver mines, but the film's approach is scarcely calculated to make you want to keep track of it. There are a few double-crosses, Cybill Shepherd does her kooky act (which is amusing at first but wears thin) and there are familiar characterisations from Michael Caine, Louis Jourdan and David Warner. It is, above all, a rather mechanical exercise in the art of making an international movie in the Seventies: local charm, a 'money' theme, ingratiating characters, colourful backrounds - the kind of film that has become increasingly less commercial in more recent times.
