blake edward legendary fiasco and begin to seem pointless after just 10 minute . a combination of the eagle have land and star . and oh . what a lovely war . and and edward pink panther film and darling lili never engage the viewer while the aerial sequence and the musical number and the romance and the comedy and and the espionage be all ho hum . at what point be the viewer suppose to give a damn . this disaster waver in tone and never decide what it want to be and and apparently think it a spoof and but it pathetically and grindingly square . old fashion in the bad sense and audience understandably stay away in drove . it awful . james garner would have be a vast improvement over hudson who be just cardboard and and he doesn not connect with andrew and vice versa . and both andrew and hudson do not seem to have be let in on the joke and perform with a miscalculated earnestness . blake edward sob isn not much more than ok and but it the only good that ever come out of darling lili . the expensive and professional look of much of darling lili and only make what it all lavish on even more difficult to bear . to quote paramount chief robert evans and 24 million dollar worth of film and no picture .
