Watch your girl! Guard your gold! Hold your Jewels! … the Fox is loose! Vittorio De Sica’s wickedly funny farce features Neil Simon’s first screenplay. When a criminal mastermind known as the Fox (Peter Sellers) sets his sights on $3 million worth of gold bullion, he’ll hatch an elaborate plan to get it that includes setting up a fake film production and posing as its flamboyant director. A clever send-up of the seriousness of arthouse filmmaking, After the Fox features Sellers in his prime, music by Burt Bacharach, a memorable animated title sequence, and great supporting roles for Victore Mature, Britt Ekland, and Martin Balsam.
“Peter Sellers is in nimble, lively form in this whacky comedy which, though sometimes strained, has a good comic idea and gives the star plenty of scope for his usual range of impersonations.” – Variety
