An Italian-Spanish production that mixes hold-up and spy films with comedy. Based on the classic Big Score story, the film tells the story of the relationship between a clumsy waiter (Buzzanca) and a thief (Gimpera). With a solid cast of actors and a passable direction by the almost debuting filmmaker Bruno Corbucci, the film maintains the forms of a vaudeville in an acceptably effective way. Although some hilarious situations stand out, such as when the band fleeing in their car crashes into a funeral vehicle whose coffin moves to that of the hilarious team and then falls on the table of a wedding celebration. Or the scenes of Buzzanca and the professor trying to get a suitcase through the cobblestones at a great height of a hotel, when they constantly find a sleepwalker who blocks their way. The film turns out to be mediocre, relying heavily on the comic touches of the Italian comedian Lando Buzzanca, who lets himself be carried away by his excessive eccentricities, maximum gesticulation and surreal situations.
