A Touch of the Sun, also known as No Secrets!, is a 1979 British-American comedy film directed by Peter Curran and starring Oliver Reed, Sylvaine Charlet, Peter Cushing and Wilfrid Hyde-White.[1]

Critical reception

[edit]

The Radio Times Guide to Films gave the film 1/5 stars, writing: "This would-be comedy stars Oliver Reed as a bumbling Us Army officer and Peter Cushing as a British commissioner who attempt to recover an American spaceship that's being held for ransom by an African emperor. The humour is so strained as to be sieved of all fun."[2]
