    • Trivia
      On location, the young Tyler Butterworth (Miguel) wet himself in fright at the explosions. To make matters worse, he was being carried on Eric Morecambe's shoulders at the time. The comic kindly didn't make an issue of it to the embarrassed child.
    • Goofs
      Although set in the fictional country of Parazuelia, in the first few minutes an official car comes to the police station bearing the Mexican flag.
    • Quotes

      Ernie: We'll never sell anything here. I don't suppose anybody's got two pesos to rub together.

      Eric: Maybe we picked the wrong town.

      Ernie: The wrong town, we picked the wrong country! We were doing all right in Urapania until you had to open your big mouth. "Long live the President."

      Eric: How was I to know they'd just shot him?

    6/10
    Mediocre Morecambe and Wise film
    This was the last of the three films that television comedians Morecambe & Wise made for the Rank Organisation. I saw all three when they came out and thought at the time that this was the best of the three.. Looked at today, more than fifty years on, although I still find it enjoyable, it seems rather more problematic. It seems to be unsure which direction it is going in. On the one hand, with this basic story-line, you could make a much darker film, but that would require different leads, but if judged purely as a vehicle for Morecambe & Wise, then it seems unnecessarily violent. On a positive note, I did rather like the performance of Margit Saad as General Carla, the leader of the women's revolutionary army. In a film like this, it would be easy to make her a ridiculous figure, but in fact, she plays the part for the most part fairly straight in an under-stated manner which I found quite effective, although at times she seems to be in a different film to the two leads. In conclusion, I have seen much worse films starring TV comedians, eg Mr. Ten Per Cent starring Charlie Drake which came out at about the same time.. If you can cut this film some slack, then you may find things about this film that you can enjoy.
