This film was made by the Zampi Brothers who made some very amusing British comedies. However this does not rank with the best of them.
George Cole seems to have a permanently dazed look about him. This seems to rather disarm the Russians in general and Oskar Hamolka in particular. He even gets to meet Uncle Joe,this is before the scale of his murderous paranoia was well known.
The problem is that having a bewildered look on your face does not make a film funny. You need to have a funny script and that is just what this film does not have. A few chuckles but no out and out belly laughs. Coles stunt man performs well at the end.
