Forbearingly I did read all few comments over this odd comic picture that really almost sunk Columbia Pictures at it's time, my first watch was in 1989 at TV and never got another fair opportunity to see it again, until the DVD advent, on first time the duo comic leading roles were quite contrived, aside Elliott Gould that has a comic vein, James Caan was an outsider on Vaudeville theatre, when both are in jail and meet Adam Worth (Michael Caine) as a highly sophisticated burglar, all things seemingly on tracks with a reliable ground, however when they went to New York the premise collapses itself, was clear that both weren't able to do a daring robbery like that even with aid of the tidy journalist Lissa Chestnutt and her workers, overall it was the great fail done by Mark Rydell, overlooking the audience's intellect, the movie in my opinion had his roots coming from the early slapstick comedies on thirties like Buster Keaton and later with Three Stooges's standarts, but it applying on the seventies is another story, however it had their fine moments to reassess as in the fancy restaurant on wine hilarious sequence, selling Adam Worth's hair as souvenirs even for a poor boy and of course the wise method to get free sexual favors from female customers in money troubles as did by Rufus T. Crisp (Charles Durning), anyway yesterday I watched it in hope to get something missed on previous sessions, stay in same degree!!
