Another enjoyable Sellers comedy. DVD review.

A group of prisoners escape prison to rob diamonds.

Funny clever movie that features Sellers as a non-nonsense prisoner who plans a remarkable diamond robbery. That sequence was really good and enjoyable to watch. The fantastic character actor Hyde-White is the outside gang member posing as a vicar. But the best performance was by Jeffries as the sadistic prison officer - what a nasty character he was. Handl and Fraser are the two women in the gang. One of the army men was John Wood (the reclusive scientist in Wargames). All this movie is missing was Sid James. Good ending where Jeffries mistakes a group of respectable Vicars for Jeffries.

Two-Way Stetch is not just for Sellers' fans.
