« Losey captures with comedy the same chill of modernity beneath the Mediterranean sun that Antonioni captures with melodrama. » (New Yorker)
« There’s practically something for everybody : musical numbers, visual gags, romance, suspense, fourth-wall-breaks, and enough campy stylistic flair to ensure the film’s position as a cult classic. It’s essentially a James Bond spoof with pop-art sensibilities and one odd sense of humor. Whenever Vitti appears, she steals the scene with a laidback charm that couldn’t feel more natural. It’s a wonderful portrayal of a film icon at her most easygoing, and an endearingly odd tribute to spy films, comic books and Vitti herself. » (Collider)
« One of the nuttiest, screwiest pictures ever made. » (Variety)
