Their leaders are ingratiating bean brains. Major Richardson (David Niven) is a swaggerstick-thin Colonel Blimp. Captain Blasi (Italy's Alberto Sordi) is a soulful doleful duce. Each spends most of his time taking miscalculated risks and falling into the other's hands. Niven falls first, when his plane crashes...
...bureau's agents work under cover, infiltrate gangs, even act as couriers between criminals. Often they have to shoot it out with narcotics racketeers. They have to watch for dope in some of the most unlikely places-hidden in compartments of imported cars, in ice bags, cans of bean sprouts, jewelry cases, the brassieres of airline hostesses.

Funnywoman Paula Prentiss, 23, is a Texas skyscraper (5 ft. 9¼ in.) who can look slim Jim in the eye without a periscope, and can come on and cut up like a junior-miss Rosalind Russell. If humor were measured in inches, Hutton and Prentiss would be the daffiest double in show business; since...
