Fresh off the back of the Mel Brooks movies, Wilder writes something similar and reassembles a key cast of himself, Madeline Khan and Marty Feldman - who alone are reason to watch this. (Wilder has the slowest reactions to things; Khan is great when acting and singing; Feldman is so tender.)
Some of it's rather silly, and patchy, but the laugh out loud moments (e.g. fight on top of coaches, the kangaroo song) are there.
With an English supporting cast of Leo McKern, Roy Kinnear , John Le Mesurier, Douglas Wilmer, Thorley Walters... and Dom de Luise.
Shot by Gerry Turpin and edited by Jim Clark.
Funny cameo by Albert Finney!
