Franco & Ciccio are mistaken for KGB Agents, Franco has a top secret formula that everyone wants implanted in his tooth, and they’re chased by the American, Chinese and Russian secret services.  Much chaos ensues…

Reviews

The film, despite some pleasent incidentals, such as the color and the settings, does not manage to improve on the the general sloppiness of their previous work. It is therefore of little comic force and often inclined to resort to vulgarity and unpleasantness.  (‘Segnalazioni cinematografiche’, vol. 58, 1965)

Ciccio and Franco, again without being aware of it, are involved in a complicated affair with the Chinese, Russian and American secret services. Difficult to judge as artistic product (in ’64 the two comedians participated in 16 films!), this kind of parody has become an interesting phenomenon on a sociological level. As, jokingly, they deal with real issues. Followed by 00-2 Operazione Luna. (Morandini)
