Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaSoon after filming was completed, Fiona Lewis (who was then getting quite large supporting roles in British films) gave an interview to a newspaper in which she said that the filming had been a nightmare, and describing director Jerry Lewis as the biggest egomaniac she had ever met. Interestingly, when this movie opened in Britain, several months after its American opening, Ms. Lewis was nowhere to be seen in it.
- GoofsThere are multiple discrepancies between the exterior shots of the Plaid Cat pub and the interior scenes, including the shootout. From the inside, a brick wall can be seen outside some of the pub's windows, but there were no brick-walled buildings shown in the establishing exterior shots. Outside another window, a city skyline is visible, but the pub is supposed to be in the countryside and the establishing shot showed only one other house and trees in the vicinity. Finally, when Charlie and Chris exit the pub, as seen from the inside, there is a brick wall outside the entrance door even though the establishing exterior shot showed only a small yard with a walkway leading all the way to the door.

Featured review
A vanity project...mostly of interest to their die-hard fans.
Through the course of the 1960s, the so-called 'Rat Pack' splintered apart. After a perceived slight, Frank Sinatra completely broke off his relationship with Peter Lawford and the old Vegas Rat Pack days were over. Despite this, Lawford managed to maintain his friendship with another Rat Packer...Sammy Davis. So, it's not particularly surprising that the pair made a film together in 1968, "Salt and Pepper". What WAS surprising about this vanity project was that two years later, they made a sequel...and this one was directed by none other than Jerry Lewis.
Once again, Charlie Salt (Sammy Davis) and Christopher Pepper (Peter Lawford) are swinging friends in London. However, after getting in trouble with the law, the pair go to Christopher's brother, Lord Sydney Pepper (also played by Lawford) for money. Chris' estranged twin brother wants little to do with him and the pair have a big fight. Later, when Chris returns to Lord Sydney's flat, he finds his brother on the floor...dead. For some inexplicable reason (none of which is apparent to the audience), Chris pretends to be Sydney....and doesn't tell his partner that he's alive. What also is inexplicable is that Chris isn't particularly curious about WHO killed his brother...as well as worrying that they might now try to kill him! Plot holes? Oh, you betcha!
The film is a combination buddy film, comedy and action/adventure film...with some musical numbers by Davis tossed into the mix...even though they really seem out of place. Overall, the film screams 'Vanity Project!!'....and it looks clear that Lawford and Davis had a great time making the film...though only the most ardent fans would share this enthusiasm. The laughs are mostly tired and over-done, there is excessive mugging at the camera, the plot illogical and the film tough going for the average person...particularly someone NOT enamored or familiar with these actors.
By the way, fans of British horror might at least enjoy seeing a cameo by Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing...which somes from out of no where in the last half of the film. Also, there is talk about a sequel to "One More Time" at the end of the movie...this never came to be.
