David Niven and Marlon Brando star in this fully swinging-sixties conman caper, full of vibrant colours, dodgy back-projection and phony European locations (although a lot of it was filmed in Cannes). The sort of film I'd love. And I really did. We're first introduced to our unlikely heroes at the French Riviera and in Germany, as both men stalk rich, single women and attempt to con them out of their wealth - Brando's technique is making them think that the money is going his ill grandmother, who changes nationality in accordance with each girl. It takes a while to get going, but once the pair of loveable rogues team up, the film turns into a rollicking ride as both men try to outwit each other and claim the lovely Shirley Jones. Great fun, the only alarming thing is the amount of weight Brando has put on. Still, he's excellent in his comedic role as is Niven as always
