Description:
This wildly funny farce gives the comic genius of Peter Sellers free reign as he assumes several wacky personalities, each one funnier than the last! Superb direction by Vittorio De Sica (The Bicycle Thief) and a sparkling original script by Neil Simon (The Goodbye Girl) make Afterthe Fox an absolute 'must-see' (Leonard Maltin)! Millions of dollars' worth of gold bullion is on its way from Cairo to an unknown Italian destination. There is only one criminal mastermind capable of stealing it: Aldo Vanucci (Sellers), also known as 'the Fox.' Aldo devises the perfect plan to seize the gold: Posing as a flamboyant film director, he casts an aging, egotistical film star (Victor Mature) and his own voluptuous sister (Britt Ekland) in a fake film about a gold theft!But the action really heats up when the boat with the real gold arrives.

Rating:  - The Best Bambozzles Are Simple and Direct.
And fun. There must be lots of fun. If a film director came to your tiny forgotten town and shouted that he needed the entire community as his extras, what would you do? Everyone wants their moment of fame, and that means everyone. So what, you never heard of him. This man is a genius. Aldo Vanucci, alias The Fox, counts on this to carry out his plan to recover stolen gold. With the help of The Fox's gang and his sister who wants to be an actress, two confederates arrange for delivery of the ... Read More
Rating:  - Almost too funny
I've always been a Peter Sellers fan; this movie is almost too funny. It features several running gags in Sellers previous movies and the multiple personalities with amazing transformations created by Sellers. The plot of the movie involves hiding a crime in plain sight. Surrounding the plot is a spoof of 1960's era Italian art house movies including one of its leading directors, Vittorio de Sica. Victor Mature plays the over the hill Hollywood actor with brilliant self parody, Britt Eklund plays ... Read More
Rating: - Fabulous!
Prolly my favorite Peter Sellers movie - After the Fox is clever, witty and well-acted. The only draw-back is it's somewhat lame ending. Sellers shines as Aldo "The Fox" but I do believe that Victor Mature steals the film - what a hoot!
Rating:  - A Good Comedy Movie
Aldo Vanucci sits in an Italian prison. His crime?, he is a thief, and a very good one at that. He's doing his time until his friends show up and share with him that things are not going too good at home. Furious, he vows to escape and even tells the precise time he plans to leave the heavily guarded prison. The day comes, and sure enough, "The Fox" as he is known as by his countrymen, makes a sophisticated (did I spell that right?) escape right under the noses of the prison guards. Free, he makes his ... Read More
Rating: - So after the fox, after the fox, off to the hunt with chains and locks
Latter films with Peter Sellers were minimal on story, but After the Fox is an incredibly funny film with wit and humor, gags and a really great cast. Sellers plays Aldo Venucci who takes on the task of smuggling the Gold of Cairo into Italy. This movie is terrific, written by Neil Simon and directed by Vittorrio DeSica, it's a parody of stereotypic italian pics with lots of scenes, scenarios and sight gags to keep you laughing. Music and title song written by Burt Bacharach. Victor Mature steals scene ... Read More
