Mickey King (Micahel Caine) is a hack writer of pulp myster-thrillers. He welcomes the chance to ghostwrite the autobiography of Preston Gilbert (Mickey Rooney), a famous retired star of gangstar movies. When Gilbert's Mafia connections and obsession with macabre practical jokes put King's life in jeopardy, this tongue-in-cheek action-thriller takes off! It's a riotous romp around an exquisite, sun-drenched Mediterranean island - with a bizarre assortment of ex-gangsters, oddballs, fascist politicians and an American aristocrat - played to the hilt by Lizabeth Scott. Michael Caine is terrifically funny in this offbeat comedy-thriller and Mickey Rooney is superb as a dangerous but delightful eccentric. Fun and scary games all the way!
