A Fine Pair (1968)


National General Pictures
Directed by Francesco Maselli
My rating: 2.5 stars out of 4
IMDb
(Turner Classic Movies)

Claudia Cardinale shows up in New York to ask for help from her former boyfriend and cop Rock Hudson to return some hot jewels. She somehow convinces him to go to Austria where they break into a house using extreme heat to disable the alarm system. However, Claudia is only using Rock and actually steals jewels while he is busy returning fake ones. Afterwards, they head to Rome to try to same scheme all over again. It's difficult to believe Rock, a cop, could be so gullible, but Claudia does have a way with men. Beautifully shot on location by Alfio Contini, who often worked with Antonioni, but annoyingly the dialogue is all dubbed.
