One of my all time favorites.

Don't listen to the negative reviews

I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

This attempts to combine something of the cool swinging style of "Blow Up" with a James Coburn comedy-heist movie which are anything but cool and stylish. Providing undeserved gravitas is the inimitable James Mason. Its a combination that just doesnt gel, The lovely Susanna York had an innate dignity and class as an actress such as had no place here. It is at least attractively shot in colourful sunny locations. Perhaps the cast regarded it as a holiday rather than something that would advance their reputations

We thought it would be cool to see this vintage 60's film. It wasn't. It was instead, painful to watch. The dialog is dull, it is clichéd, silly, poorly executed, unintelligent. It was almost like watching a skit on Love American Style. Suzannah York's character was possibly supposed to be a love able 60's perky blond perhaps like Goldie Hawn. Instead she seems dumb, selfish and a sad case. On the bright side the sets and props are cool. There are some beautiful shots but aside from that, I can't imagine how this could be anyones favorite film.

This is likable enough, well shot and colourful with some super groovy dialogue, thanks to Donald Cammell but I didn't feel this was wholly successful. James' Fox and Mason are great, not so sure about Coburn and Alderton tries just a little too hard and ends up helping to make some of the scenes more silly than I would have liked. Susannah York looks as lovely as she ever has but she doesn't convince me that she is as interested in the guys as she makes out and I feel there are dozens of girls, who in 1968, would have made a better job of the role. Apparently filmed in and around Almeria with the 'Tangiers' scenes actually the old streets of the Spanish town, more famous, of course for its connections with spaghetti westerns. I love the films of the time, that this should have been more like and my own favourites can be found in my 'Acid Erotica' list on 'Letterboxd'.

This is a "feel good" movie. It has a fun plot, the actors all put in a good performance, and it was filmed in gorgeous Mediterranean locations. If you like vacationing in the Mediterranean area, this movie whets your appetite for another visit. Most of the movie was filmed in and around the city of Almeria, located on the south coast of Spain. This area has been used frequently for "spaghetti westerns" because of desert-like scenery. The scenes of "Tangiers" were filmed right in the city of Almeria. I visited here in 1984, and the city still had many winding alleys and whitewashed houses that looked like they could have been Tangiers. The lighthouse and rocky beach scenes were filmed at nearby Cabo de Gato. I revisited Almeria in 1999, and it was unrecognizable - all ugly hi-rise buildings. The Cabo de Gato area is still gorgeous, though. There are many beach houses near the lighthouse, but it is now a protected natural reserve area. I've never been able to find the beach club in the movie, although the scenery is very much like the area around the nearby town of San Jose.
