This first big screen outing for UK TV comedians Morecambe and Wise is a sub-James Bond spoof featuring assorted shenanigans taking place courtesy of a visiting Russian ballet company. But let's face it, the plot doesn't matter very much, which is just as well, because it isn't very good.
TV was Eric and Ernie's medium, not cinema.
But, for all that, this film contains a priceless sequence when the two boys, in Egyptian garb, find themselves taking part on the cygnet dance towards the end of Swan Lake - this has to be one of the best sight gag sequences ever committed to celluloid.
