I saw this movie and there were 4 people in the audience when the film started. And the end there were two - me and some other poor soul who I just hope had fallen asleep. This is the type of boring badly acted "comedy" that almost killed the British Film Industry in the late 60's and early 70's. How such inane garbage can be financed and given a wide release is a mystery.

To save fellow movie-goers some dollars, pounds, marks or yen - the plot is this. Man thinks he is dying - kills some people who have s**t on him, hires a hit man to kill him so his new girlfriend can get rich from the insurance. etc......Ok - now go see a proper movie.
