I have to put a 10 in, cause I loved it, and I loved that Mr. Hitchcock went for unknowns and foreign performers.

What I can't fathom is what led so many contemporaries to say that Stafford wasn't anything but Amazing, a French intelligence officer friends with a CIA man, who have a working friendship/exchange going on.

He is a man of conscience, and when he sees what Castro has planned despite his nations neutrality on the subject is moved by conscience.

AND the fact that he knew what he was risking did it anyway, and It was an amazingly believable and compelling story.

I just don't get fickle critics.

I think I learned Italian from this movie, I watched it so many times.

I've simply never loved a movie as so cute and funny as this, its well worth tracking it down, Its still pretty available if you know the right places to look.

Roberto and Nicoletta are perfect together on and off screen, truly a mating of Eagles as the Romans would say.

take the perfect vaudeville act, Where you have some idiot who is just a heart of Gold, mix in a scheming Mafia donna, take a bunch of Italians in good suits add a little illegal narcotics done by politicans.

Steal a banana or two, and then change places with a murderous Cut throat assasino. What do you get? Superb cinema.
