Lucky, el intrépido

This is a very silly movie. It's an Airplane-style, comic book-type secret agent adventure with Ray Danton (Code Name Jaguar (65), Secret Agent Super Dragon (66)) as Lucky the Inscrutable, a master of disguise, among his many other amazing qualities. He's not only prepared for every situation, he's an expert in every situation. The gags fly fast and furious and with so many jokes thrown our way, some are sure to stick. And some do.

I'll admit that I'm not a big Jess Franco fan and I had serious misgivings about this flick but after half an hour it won me over. It has a terrific Bruno Nicolai score and boundless enthusiasm for the material. Danton turns out to be a good comedian in his last spy flick.

There's plenty to laugh at and also to groan at during this chase-heavy comedy that should ultimately tickle your funny bone. If you're feeling Lucky, it's not a bad way to waste ninety minutes.
