This picture has some very funny gags, but it is hampered by Blake Edwards' miscalculations: the opening robbery sequence goes on too long, and there's too much irrelevant footage with supporting players that only interrupt the comedy. This reminds me of those Marx Brothers films where you have to sit through many long, pointless scenes with secondary characters to get to the funny stuff. Still, the movie DOES have Peter Sellers at his best - and Herbert Lom is every bit his equal. (**1/2)
