Apr 21st  
The Intelligence Men*    
(GB 1965)           
Rank. 104m.

A coffee bar owner is mistaken for a double agent in a plot to assassinate a Russian ballerina.
Variable spy spoof geared to two much loved TV comics. They have their bright moments in their own style, but generally deserved better material than this. Successful enough to be followed by That Riviera Touch, The Magnificent Two (and the all but forgotten Night Train to Murder), this first film was sadly as good as it got for Morecambe and Wise, as far as movies were concerned.

Director: Robert Asher.
Starring: Eric Morecambe, Ernie Wise, William Franklyn, April Olrich, Gloria Paul, Francis Matthews, Terence Alexander, Richard Vernon, Warren Mitchell, David Lodge.
