CANDIDATE FOR A KILLING 1969 (TUBI)

I saw this listed on TUBI and just had to give it a watch.

John Richardson stars as speedboat racer Nick Warfield whose boat has been smashed in an accident.

He gets into a brawl in a bar and is thrown in jail. However he is bailed out and finds everything paid for by a mysterious benefactor. The tale gets more twisted as he goes along.

He meets gorgeous Kina Inn (Margaret Lee) and they hit it off, but she has to leave and so does he. The plot involves Nick replacing a known criminal and killer because he resembles him.

If this sounds confusing, it is. There are a lot of negatives including the print on TUBI. The dialogue is very hard to understand, and the print itself is sadly lacking.

However, there are some good things as well. We have sexy Margaret Lee as well as Anita Ekberg and a bevy of other sexy as hell women. This is not unusual however for and Italian production.

If you're a fan of Euro crime you will want to see this, if not just watch it to see the women.

The rest of the cast includes Fernando Rey, Maria Martin, John Naylor, Elsa Zabala and Beni Deus.
