Peter Sellers has some amusing gags as the gambler, the chance of dressing up in various guises and a neat near-seduction scene with Ursula Andress.

Out of five directors -- only McGrath manages to connect with this brontosaurian James Bond parody.
Dave Kehr, Chicago Reader
Rotten
The few good aspects of this farce are vastly outweighed by the bad.
James Berardinelli, ReelViews
Rotten
Even less amusing than the more 'serious' Bond films.
Geoff Andrew, Time Out
Rotten
It's the sort of reckless, disconnected nonsense that could be telescoped or stopped at any point.
