Customer Reviews

A tad more sophisticated than "Waterhole #3".

We are used to seeing James Coburn as bigger than life. He may be here, but he blends into the story and soon you think of him as Eli Kotch or whoever he is at the moment. Eli Kotch is planning a large caper that will be masked by a visit by the Soviet Premier. He must make some quick cash to finance this plan. To do this, he becomes many people and no one. Wooing maids to gain access to their employer's abodes and pilfering on a large scale. It is fun watching him manufacture his personality and background. He becomes very efficient at this, and even the boldness (with that Coburn grimace) will impress you. As in "Waterhole #3" (see my review), he must choose between the girl and the money. Keep your eyes and ears open for the outcome. Shall justice prevail?
