This movie begins with a fight between a man named "Danny Mancini" (Maurizio Arena) and an unknown assailant on a train in China near the border of Macao. As it so happens Danny kills the man and in the process retrieves a precious medallion. While on his way back to Macao he encounters another man by the name of "Cliff Wilder" (Robert Stack) who is trying to escape Chinese border guards for attempting to obtain unauthorized photographs for a magazine. Since they are both headed in the same direction Danny offers to help Cliff escape by giving him a ride in his boat. However, once they get to Macao Danny notices that he is being followed and asks Cliff to hold onto the medallion for a little while. Not long afterward, a pretty blonde is discovered by Cliff in his room looking for something. When confronted by Cliff she reveals that her name is "Lily Mancini" (Elke Sommer) and that she is the wife of Danny and that he told her to come by and pick up the package that he gave to him. When he refuses to give it to her she pulls a gun on him. Fortunately, Danny is quicker than she is and manages to grab the gun from her before she can fire it. Although he allows her to leave his hotel room their paths will soon cross again-along with several other characters who also want the medallion. Now rather than reveal any more and risk spoiling it for those who haven't seen it I will just say that this movie had some good things going for it. Filmed in 1967--in the exotic location of Macao--it had some good actors like Robert Stack, Nancy Kwan (as "Tina") and the aforementioned Elke Sommer. Along with that it had enough intrigue and action to keep me interested as well. It even had Dusty Springfield singing the opening title track. Yet, in spite of it all, the plot was a bit unrealistic and the film suffers as a result. But, like I said earlier, it was still somewhat entertaining and I have rated it accordingly. Slightly above average.
