Salt & Pepper (1968)

The same year Richard Donner directed Danger Island from The Banana Splits Adventure Hour (last post), he also directed the movie Salt & Pepper, starring Peter Lawford (Pepper) and Sammy Davis Jr. (Salt) – the latter's another favorite here at Franklin Mint Blog. It's about two nightclub owners in London's swingin' Soho district who reluctantly get caught up in some government espionage and must double as secret agents. Their current assignment is to put the kibosh on a half-baked military officer, who plans to hijack a nuclear sub and hold England captive. Salt & Pepper was followed two years later by a sequel, One More Time, directed by Jerry Lewis.
