James Coburn Fantastic!
23 April 2005
This film is among my personal top five, and I am so thrilled that it's been forever preserved on DVD, with such a high quality encoding. It is brilliantly filmed, the dialog is witty, it is 1960s spy humor at it's best, the Lalo Schifrin soundtrack is a tasteful masterpiece on its own, and the direction captures a James Coburn with a male persona that rivals the best Sean Connery out there. This is a film that should be an integral part of any serious film study curriculum, and it may very well be in some schools for all we know.

This is nothing but a time capsule of a timeless masterpiece of film making.

Amazing work. I hope I can one day have lunch with someone who may have worked on this film, and express my gratitude. 'Nuff said. Get it on DVD widescreen and enjoy!
