The picture already has more cameos than Cartier's-Peter O'Toole popped in as a bagpiper (his fee: a case of champagne), Race Driver Stirling Moss plays a chauffeur, William Holden is chief of the CIA, Charles Boyer is head of the French Sûréte, and Huston will be Bond's boss...
Handyman & Thief. Gennaro is coffinmaker, wreathmaker, funeral-insurance salesman, handyman, business manager, and hearse driver. He is also poor, and in Naples that means powerless.

This French-bred farce is set in 1905, and Ford has no trouble convincing anyone that the swiftest road to hell is to read the early plays of George Bernard Shaw. That is what his daughter is doing, and she has already fallen in love with a chauffeur. Depravity surrounds Ford. The clerk of his sporting-goods concern has lifted half a million dollars from the firm, and makes a scoundrelly proposition. He will abscond with the loot unless Ford gives him his daughter's hand and a general managership. The swag is in two matching bags. When...
