ESPIONAGE ESCAPADES

Going undercover as a dancer for the Ballets Russes in Spain, Indy meets an old friend, the flamboyant Pablo Picasso.

Only one man, Franz Kafka, offers him any assistance. This film is a farcical take on the stereotypically suave portrayal of espionage and also pokes fun at the narrowminded evil of bureaucracy, which weaves its ineffectual web into an absurd straightjacket.
