Bulls don't give alibis.

Warning: Spoilers
A minor 60's caper comedy has some nice location footage, a few amusing sequences involving the running from the bulls challenge in Pamplona and a clever plot involving the attempt to steal royal jewelry during the run. But there's that bouncy musical score written by Vic Mizzy heard over and over and over, amusing at first but tedious after the tenth time you hear it. The events leading up to the demand that former allied pilot Stephen Boyd are complicated so the film takes a while to get going. But once the bulls start running, the action takes off a bit.

Sexy Yvette Mimieux and Giovanna Ralli are certainly alluring and exotic, with Mimieux more of a lady than the femme fatale Ralli, and Vitto Scotti provides mild comic relief, and Walter Moss, Clifton James, Walter Slezak and Leon Askin have amusing chatacter roles. The caper itself is pretty standard, very typical of the mid to late 60's, and I wonder if audiences were getting tired of it. But it's a nice little exotic trip to pass the time and take the viewer on a little video vacation. Boyd shows off a nice physique and plenty of package in his loose fitting pants while committing the crime.
