Way too slow, 25 September 2004
4/10
Author: Jim Tritten from Corrales, NM

Primarily a vehicle to showcase Ace the Wonder Dog and gowns by Renié. Premise of why the hero needs to pretend he is blind in order to gain access to museum is not sufficiently believable, especially when thieves figure out that all they need to do is get hired on as janitors in order to accomplish the same end. I find Richard Dix wooden in his delivery and cannot understand why Whitney Bourne would find him appealing. Eduardo Ciannelli is excellent as the thief. Richard Dix making an "iron" pancake in Paris could have been funnier as could have the thieves arguing over fifteen and twenty cents when blackmail is at stake. Not a great movie, but the premise could have been more interesting. Moves way too slow to really hold your interest.
