Weird to see Alan Arkin in this part. I get why he was cast: The Russians are Coming, The Russians are Coming. This isn't bad. More odd. There's European locations but it lacks Blake Edwards' style.
Delia Boccardio is good looking. Beryl Reid is funny doing a highland fling. It's not a bad plot involving the theft of jewels. There's some groovy 60s thieves, mostly male unfortunately. People like Frank Finlay and Clive Revill are in it.
Arkin lacks Sellers' dignity. His poise. He tries. Doesn't disgrace himself it just doesn't work.
