  Typically breezy, goofy, lightweight comedy finds Hope going reluctantly to Africa to locate lost space capsule...yes plot is absurd but many great one-liners and topical jokes keep things from getting too serious....Hope is in usual form as lecherous woman- chasing fake explorer only interested in Anita Ekbergs' ample...er...everything! Film veers off into totally off the wall golf course scene with Arnold Palmer!! What!? Not gonna win any Oscars but enjoyable and harmless fun.....look for the spoof of Bond film Dr No ....Hope sings (!!) the title track over the closing credits....actually saw the 45rpm of it for sale some years ago....should have grabbed it as it is nutty enough to be kinda cool....

  Very unfunny swan song for a terrific film career. Liomel Jeffries, Anita Ekberg, Edie Adams are all wasted in unforgettalbe roles. Hope travels to Africa in search of a satelite. Jeffries sent by the Ruskies to intercept Hope. One-liners doom the film from the start. Watch only for historical value. Even the "Greatest Generation" stayed away from this one, they knew better. 2 out of 5 stars . On par with "Hillbillies in a Haunted House."
