    1964     Action comedy    
    1h 49min
    G

    Literally translated as "the beards," this burlesque features the cousin, the foster brother, the shrink, and the father confessor -- all impostors -- of a deceased arms dealer. Representing France, Germany, Russia, and Switzerland(!) and fortified with American dollars, these spies, each one a nincompoop, are all on the trail of a secret formula -- possibly for the atom bomb -- hidden in the chateau of the weapons merchant's ex-stripper widow.
