Genteel thieves Rex Harrison and Rita Hayworth exchange a copy of a Goya painting for the real thing and then try to smuggle it out of Spain. They are double crossed and spend the rest of the movie trying to cover up their mistake by planning yet another caper. It doesn't go as planned either. Hayworth is especially unconvincing as the nervous smuggler and thief, the performance has got to rank among her worst. The soundtrack is cute and repetitive. As with most Hollywood movies set in Spain at this time, there are the obligatory bullfighting scenes, this one featuring real footage of a bull being slaughtered for entertainment.
