5.8 / 10 · TMDB

Don Giuliano Niccolini Borges, Roman prince and member of the Pontifical Noble Guard, is very much attracted to Jane, an English girl he has met that is accompanying him on a pleasure trip to Switzerland. He has some plans for hanky-panky on their various stops along the route, but Jane has other plans as she is only with him because his car has a special-identification license plate and can go through customs without inspection. The car clears customs as does the stolen million dollars she is smuggling. Sandro, her former boyfriend is following and plans to hi-jack the loot, leaving Jane empty handed.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film constructs a light comedic chase, relying on the contrast between a naive aristocrat and a cunning adventurer. The director explores human greed against the picturesque backdrop of Swiss roads, where every character follows their own agenda.

What lingers after viewing is the elegant simplicity of the cat-and-mouse game, delivered with typical Italian wit. The real treasure turns out to be not the smuggled money, but the charming absurdity of the situation itself. — MovieFinder Editorial
