The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.
The movie runs out of plot and jokes well before the end of a two-hour running time, long for a light comedy.
Saw this film when it was first released (1964) and was overwhelmed with the visual richness, and impressed with the soundtrack enough to have purchased it at that time and I believe it has at least one track that is not on the re-released soundtrack. I still have it and listen to it now and then since, in my opinion, the film's secret is in Morricone's soundtrack. Scenes and topics that were, in 1964, considered quite taboo, are tame compared to what's available in film today. It's nostalgic to see these old films and realize that that genre seems to have disappeared. Maybe the public has become so saturated with on-the-spot, round-the-clock coverages of everything in the world that films purporting to be exposes, can't find an audience any longer.
