The adventures of Mickey Spillane really spilled some toxic waste in this stinky adventure that has no real Point other than to show a bunch of overly made-up women of all ages parading around showing their midriffs and any other exposed body parts that they could get away with. It's embarrassing to realize that this film was directed by Tay Garnett who directed some very entertaining if minor screwball comedies in the 1930's and 40's as well as a few classic Greer Garson movies ("Mrs. Parkington", "The Valley of Decision"), and features right before her Broadway triumph singing "I'm Still Here" in "Follies" the high haired Yvonne de Carlo who walks through her scenes without a care in the world as if she's just satisfied to get a paycheck.
The film, involving a kidnapping and taking its stars to an exotic South American locale, is not a good vehicle for its stars, Christopher George and Yvette Mimieux, tactless and poorly written with such ridiculous bits of dialogue as George talking about an old lady doing something obscene with her umbrella to some sleazy guy lying on a gurney. This is followed by a little bit of plot here and there in there yet mixed with a parade of hideous fashions where there's basically hardly any material there. How anybody can refer to this as a movie rather than just a piece of garbage on celluloid is the question I have to ask after watching this. Attempts at a bit of like comedy fall flat and the film goes instantly on to my list of worst movies of the 1970's let alone all time.
