I couldn't throw a shoe to save my life, but Honor Blackman certainly does, with great aim hitting one of the bad guys in the back of the head hard enough to distract him so her husband Hugh McDermott can punch him and they can get away. This is however a messy, convoluted crime drama where the writers think they're being smarter than the audience in creating a discernable plot. McDermott and Blackman end up involved in the search for valuable manuscripts which has them being stalked by some very dangerous criminals.
Smart dialog between the couple does help, like a later day Nick and Nora, but without the snap of those films. Their adventure leads them to glamorous bombshell Jane Hylton, a possibly dangerous femme fatale. McDermott is a brash American in the story, balanced out by Blackman's cultured British lady. They do have a good spark even though they're saddled with poor material. The supporting characters outside of Hylton and Ivan Simpson as a client of McDermott's aren't very well structured either. But the title makes no sense either, so at least there's some consistency in the film's flaws that makes it a boring chore to get through.
