Paul Hubschmid stars as a superspy called Upperseven, who happens to be a master of disguise.
Upperseven, whose real name is Paul Finney is assigned to a case involving diamond smuggling that turns out to be a front for an even more sinister plan of missile building for world domination from China.
There is a lot of action and it never gets boring as Upperseven travels all over the world tracking the ciminals down. During his adventures he meets Pauline (Rosalba Neri) who is actually working for the enemy, and pays for her crimes. Her role is a rather small one, but it very memorable, s are all her roles.
Paul is assigned to work with CIA agent Helen Farheit (Karin Dor) who is more than capable of taking care of herself. They both fall for each other and have a great time working together. They fight the evil Kobras (Nando Gazzolo) and his incredibly sexy helper named Birgit (Vivi Bach).
The climax to the film is very well done as Upperseven changes disguises several times and it gets hard to know who is who. Director Alberto Di Martino handles everything very well.
I enjoyed the heck out of this movie!! It's well done. The actors all do a wonderful job with their roles and it takes me back to a time when men were men and women were women. It's never a bad thing either when Dor, Neri and Bach are all in the same movie.
The print from Sinister is beautiful, widescreen and has gorgeous color. Recommended!!
