A reasonably enjoyable road movie featuring Italian superstar Terrence Hill as heir to an American fortune trying to outfox crooked corporate goon Jackie Gleason in order to claim his inheritance. Valerie Perrine is hired by Gleason to trick Hill into signing over power of attorney. An early effort by director Jonathan Kaplan that is pretty much a non-stop chase film with Hill and Perrine getting into one fix after another (kidnapping, helicopter crash, car chase). Hill, who never really clicked in the US is clearly very much at ease and Perrine is undeniably sexy (the two show a lot of chemistry). Gleason is fun as a chain-smoking conniver and the supporting cast is great: William Redfield, Dick Miller, RG Armstrong and, best of all, Slim Pickens as Hill's unlikely ally. There is a rather sorry appearance by Chill Wills hamming it up as a drunken colonel. Kaplan makes good (and frequent) use of directing from a helicopter!

There were a few worthwhile moments and interesting tidbits here. I can't claim it's a well done movie and it certain had some fowl ka guage and other garbage-y elements that did nothing but detract from it. But I got a kick out of some of the aspects of it.

Jackie Gleason plays it straight as the bad guy, and has trouble pulling it off. Too bad, because everyone else here is having a marvelous time, especially spaghetti western veteran Terrence Hill in the lead. An enjoyable supporting cast is led by Slim Pickens and William Redfield. This is just diverting fluff and would be a more-than-adequate time passer for the small screen if not for Gleason.
