Two screw-up nightclub performers get hired on as spies tracking a master criminal who wants to steal the Venus de Milo. (He's got the arms, and now he wants the rest of her.) A Bond-era spoof with a touch of zany surrealism in some of the gags, and a lot of slapstick silliness. Allen and Rossi were a popular comedy team modeled on Martin and Lewis: a suave crooner playing straight man to a moron. Rossi's the crooner. Allen's the pudgy one with the bug eyes and frizzy hair. Director Norman Abbott was Bud Abbott's nephew. It shows.
