Nice British romp with Oliver Reed and Telly Sevalis, doing a terrible British accent. This has all the ingredients for a 1960s screwball action comedy: pre-WW1 setting, supervillains, cheeky protagonist and independent young women. This is precisely the kind of film the Austin Powers movies were trying to satirize. Reed is less wooden and more understated than usual. Film need more Telly Sevalis, he’s always good as the heavy. It’s an ok snapshot of what people were watching during the “Swinging London” years.
