This is the most comedic movie by director Jess Franco that I've seen yet. It's also the only comedy that I know of that's based(loosely) on a short story by Edgar Allen Poe. The goofy plot concerns a couple(Lina Romay & Emilio Alvarez) on their honeymoon who get mixed up with some criminals and secret agents looking for a lost treasure. Not as graphic in the sex department as most of Jess' sleazier works(Lina does sport the world's skimpiest bikini at one point though). Worth a watch if you want to see the light-hearted side of Franco.
This film was lost for about 40 years until just being rediscovered a few years ago.
