STONEY 1974 (CODE RED)

A fun and very engaging film.

The film is set in Indonesia and is about 2 gunrunners who have what they think is a foolproof caper planned.

They plan on stealing gold bullion from a vault hidden under the swimming pool of the Surabaya commissioner. Harvey Ward (Michael Rennie) and Steve Blessing (Michael Preston) and the two men who want to hidden fortune.

Harvey sends his female companion Irene Stone (Barbara Bouchet) to help with the movement of the gold, but this is where the trouble starts. Steve has other ideas about the heist and Irene.

Before you know it there are several others involved in the scheme and everything begins to fall apart. I'm not sure when this was filmed, but it was released in 1974. Actor Michael Rennie passed away in 1971.

The movie is brisk and quick and it's ALWAYS a pleasure to see Bouchet. Yes, she does have some nude scenes in the movie. The cast carries itself very well and also includes Vic Diaz, Richard Jaeckle, Leopaldo Salcedo and Bobbi Greenwood.

For me this was a great surprise. If you get a chance to see it, I think you like this Philippino shot action/mystery film.
