Jimmy Sangster wrote the screenplay for this well made spy thriller/spoof. Richard Johnson stars as Hugh Drummond, a British agent.
Drummond is called into a case when a good friend is killed and he then must find a madman who uses beautiful women to carry out his murder spree. There are a lot of hi jinx much like the James Bond films.
Gorgeous babes Elke Sommer and Sylvia Koscina are the two main women who do the killing. My God, these two look better than ever and it's hard not to root for them as they carry out their murder.
Nigel Green is the baddie named Carl Petersen and the final confrontation between himself and Drummond is a classic one that takes place on a huge mechanical chess board.
The non-female scenery in the film is beautiful and captures the feelings of these kinds of films very well. Ralph Thomas handled the directing chores and did well indeed.
The rest of the cast includes such familiar faces as Virginia North, Milton Reid, Suzanna Leigh, Laurence Naismith, Sylvana Henriques and Yasuko Nagazumi. If you love beautiful women in bikinis there is no doubt you'll enjoy this film.
I wish this was more available than it is. A good one to add to the collection. Once more...Elke Sommer and Sylvia Koscina in bikinis and great looking fashions spells entertainment.
