Description

This wildly funny farce gives the comic genius of Peter Sellers (The Party, What s New Pussycat?) free reign as he assumes several wacky personalities, each one funnier than the last! Superb direction by Vittorio De Sica (Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow) and a sparkling script by Neil Simon (The Odd Couple) make After the Fox an absolute must-see. Millions of dollars worth of gold bullion is on its way from Cairo to an unknown Italian destination. There is only one criminal mastermind capable of stealing it: Aldo Vanucci (Sellers), also known as "the Fox." Aldo devises the perfect plan to seize the gold: Posing as a flamboyant film director, he casts an aging, egotistical film star (Victor Mature, Kiss of Death) and his own voluptuous sister (Britt Ekland, The Man with the Golden Gun) in a fake film about a gold theft! The stellar cast includes Martin Balsam (Cuba), Akim Tamiroff (The Black Sleep) and Italian comedy legend Lando Buzzanca (Sex For Sale). Special Features: "Trailers From Hell" with Larry Karaszewski | Trailers
