And Sellers parodies Fellini.

Well almost. Sellers portrays master criminal 'Aldo Venucci', who in turn portrays mythical film director 'Federico Fabrizi' to get a stolen gold shipment into the country under the guise of making a movie about it. Britt Ekland plays Aldo's zealously-protected sister, 'Gina Romantica'. Best of all, Victor Mature parodies himself as an over-the-hill romantic leading man, 'Tony Powell'. [Mature had no self-illusion of being a great actor and quit acting so that he could play golf. In the '70's, he owned and managed an appliance store in Central L.A. and I remember buying a TV from him. Maybe he sold stereos to some of the members of the Asylum...]

Add to that Martin Balsam, Akim Tamiroff, and one stone-cold sexy fox whose name escapes me, a script by Neil Simon, cheesy music by Burt Bacharach...and you end up with one goofy movie. Not a complete comic success, but it has some very funny moments.
