During the Second World War a few people are seeking a lost city and a hoard of diamonds therein and a blonde woman loses her clothes a lot. Based upon an old comic strip, as an adventure story this is dull and as a comedy it is painfully unfunny. Every situation and every joke you can see coming a mile away. The cast isn't a bad one but the actors they have terrible material to work with which is a shame. Poor Jasper Carrott is reduced to tedious mugging in not just one role but three. One felt sorry for him. The tango scene was the only one that brought a slight smile to my lips. It was filmed in Mauritius so it looked pleasant enough but apart from that the movie seemed to drag on and on.
