by John Godey ‧ RELEASE DATE: March 10, 1967
Subtitled ""far out"" it is, and it's infectiously funny. Hero Jack is an Actor...an actor with a ""good honest hood's kisser."" But is he mistype-cast after a young punk kills a cop, pats our shaking hero on his shuddering shoulder and calls him ""Ace."" Ace it turns out is the ""quiet killer"" imported from the Coast to help pull off ""Operation Posterity,"" a ten million dollar kidnap job on the Mayor of ""Fun City."" Jack's impromptu improvisations to stay alive in his unwanted role are the funniest scenes since Second City. Thrill, and laugh along.
