Tony Curtis never lived down films like this nonsense, described by Barry Paris (who collaborated on Curtis's autobiography) as "more concerned with the CinemaScope wide-screen process than with the screenplay and characterisations"; in which the wide screen requires the cast to stand about the vast sets reminiscent of 'Star Trek' as if socially distanced spouting inanities to the accompaniment of a loud and twee music score which tries to compensate for any real wit in the script.
It's interesting to see Dan O'Herlihy playing Prince Hall, while Patrick O'Neal as the aptly named 'Walter Blunt' shows a penchant for waving a blade about that recalls 'Blackboard Jungle'. Too bad Curtis himself wasn't given more opportunities to demonstrate the incredible agility he was then capable of, leaping onto a horse and jumping over tables.
