ReviewsChicago Sun-Times - ...The movie has above all effortless charm....We can relax and share the amusement of the actors, who are essentially being asked to share their playfulness...
Additional InformationJohn Huston and Truman Capote co-wrote the screenplay while working on location. A whimsical parody of The Maltese Falcon and other 1940's detective movies in which Bogart so often starred (and Huston directed).Tells of the exploits of a group of travelers on a steamboat who each hopes to carry off a huge swindle in the uranium fields of Northern Africa. While not a commercial success upon its release, the film has come to define the genre of spy movie spoofs.
