Interesting adventure-comedy started off shaky for me as the first 10-15 minutes was an over-the-top, unfunny spy spoof only to reveal it came from the mind of a novelist writing... an over-the-top spy book. Picks up from there going back and forth from the novel to real world. As a whole not great but Jacqueline Bissett was always easy on the eyes and has some nice scenes with lead Jean-Paul Belmondo. **3.5/5**
