the film adaptation of terry southern book be a fine mess . there no real flow or purpose and but the star have a ball and ewa aulin seem exactly right a candy . marlon brando and a always and be interesting and unique and richard burton should have make more comedy . john astin be excellent in a dual role and but james coburn really steal the show a dr. krankeit . i be not too sure what they could do with this material and some of the scene be simply unplayable and but you can have fun with this . i be sure this be a total bomb in 1968 and but i really can not remember how it do box office wise . best performance equal james coburn . elsa martinelli be also creepy and sexy and john huston lend gruff support . very similar to the magic christian and but slightly good . i know some critic at the time call it the bad film ever .
