This is more like it. Arguably Marty Feldman's finest hour on the silver screen, this fast-paced knockabout farce was written and directed by the man himself (though British director Jim Clark was called in to do some last-minute cutting and reshooting) and allows his free-roaming comic imagination to go pretty well anywhere it chooses, within the confines of a loose storyline about a pair of not-exactly-identical twins (Feldman and Michael York) and their misadventures in the Foreign Legion. Feldman, too often guilty of hogging the limelight, is quite happy to allow a fantastic cast their individual turns in the spotlight, and with co-stars of the calibre of Spike Milligan, Ann-Margret, Roy Kinnear, Trevor Howard, Irene Handl and Peter Ustinov, that can only be a good thing. Everyone's clearly having a high old time, the references to cinematic styles of the past are a delight, and if you don't find one joke or bit of business amusing, don't get antsy - there'll be another one along before you know it.
