Une ravissante idiote (1964)

US title: Agent 38-24-36; UK title: The Ravishing Idiot; Other English titles: Bewitching Scatterbrain; The Warm-Blooded Spy; Adorable Idiot

After an English bank employee of Russian descent is fired he decides to spy for the Soviets. His new girlfriend is willing to help him steal a dossier from the house of an aristocrat by using her job at a gown shop of which the aristocrat's wife is a client. Unbeknownst to them, the dossier is fake and just a decoy for getting at the head of Soviet espionage in the UK.

Spy farce which is neither funny nor entertaining; though it's not badly directed, there is something quite boring about it.

Rating: 32
