Sweet British comedy with one of the best ideas ever: the smallest country in the world invades the USA to deliberately lose and then get foreign aid. Since this is used up in the first scene the film struggles to find something to match. It's a good idea also to have the country accidentally win - though less good having them do it by obtaining a nuclear bomb (though how else could you do it? A question for remakers out there.)
Peter Sellers is fun in three roles. It's also enjoyable to see Jean Seberg in a comedy, though not quite believable how she falls for Sellers. Also could the "villains" be a bit more villainous?
Some bright satire and decent points to make about nuclear bombs.
