...case of mistaken identity, Garner eludes more than 20 villains who sport accents to match their allegiances. Helping along from crisis to crisis, with defused dialogue for weaponry, are Tony Franciosa as a would-be smuggler, Sandra Dee as an addled tourist, and Robert Coote as a British embassy chap...
...vaudeville shows go, it might have been conjured up by Ed Sullivan on an LSD binge. Right there onstage in living, quivering color, a formation of UFOs performed an aerial ballet. A chap in fluorescent lemon leotards wrestled with a space-age cobweb. Next came a drill team of Martian types outfitted with glowing lampshades, then seven creatures in baggy sacks who squiggled like giant amoebas in heat-all to the otherworldly twaaang, ratatatat, whizzz and kapow! of electronic music.

Replacing Newley in this role, Comedian Tony Tanner plays it with the same cockney assurance. Quadrupling as his wife and his Russian, American and Japanese sweethearts, Millicent Martin is a model of cool English efficiency. The rest of the world's population, grouping and regrouping on a semicircular set, is portrayed by 23 exquisite Greek-chorus girls. Fortunately, every attempt at social significance disappears on the instant behind a frieze of smiles, swiveling hips...
