Hug-Her-Mug-Her in Morocco

Bang! Bang! You're Dead! Tony Randall whirls just in time to see a chap fall out of a closet. The chap lies very still, and Tony notices a large dagger stuck between his shoulder blades. Eyes narrowed, Tony thinks fast, then offers his analysis of the situation: "There's been some foul play."

As the audience can readily see, Tony knows a thing or two--maybe even three. He knows, for example, that Senta Berger, who plays the girl with a corpse in her closet, is an even tastier dish than the Christmas sandwich her screen name suggests. Licking his lips, Tony agrees to "take care of the body"--he's referring to the victim's but he's thinking of the heroine's. Both present problems, and before the problems are solved, poor Tony and Senta have been pursued through some of the finest scenery in Morocco by a couple of hilariously heinous international crooks portrayed by Herbert Lorn and a new menace named Klaus Kinski, who looks like Truman Capote with muscles.

On the wing, the lovebirds catch delightful glimpses of such old film favorites as Wilfred Hyde-White, Gregoire Asian, John Le Mesurier, and Terry-Thomas cast as an Eton-educated sheik whose gap-toothed grin would probably pass a camel. T-T has a number of soppingly silly old-boy lines to deliver, but the silliest is allotted to Villain Lorn. "I'm having a party tomorrow night," tie remarks amiably to a wealthy Muslim. "Do come. And bring your wives."
