...only comic relief in the whole ghastly affair is created by Ringo-to no one's credit but his own. Director Joseph McGrath apparently intended to exploit the popular Beatle brand of ironic mischief. Instead, Ringo's smirking indifference to his superfluous role neatly mocks the film itself...
Peter Sellers continues his comic decline as that grand guy, Guy Grand, who amuses himself by bribing athletes and actors to perform outrageous acts of public-and usually pubic-harassment.

A bizarre picture on page five includes surgeons and policemen- "both involved in Paul's car crash," according to LaBour...
