My list of essentials would be:
1 .45 automatic
2 boxes of ammunition
4 days' concentrated emergency rations
1 drug issue containing antibiotics, morphine, vitamin pills, pep pills, sleeping pills, tranquilizer pills
1 miniature combination Russian phrase book and Bible
100 dollars in rubles
100 dollars in gold
9 packs of chewing gum
1 issue of prophylactics
3 lipsticks
3 pairs of nylon stockings
poop, a guy could have a pretty good weekend in Vegas with that stuff...
Haha, I love this movie. Peter Sellers is such a good actor (liked him as Clouseau, too).
