Interesting that our hero is sent in as a spy, yet the first thing he does is tell two locals he speaks fluent Chinese while overhearing them in the garden reception. James Bond he's not.

State Department: File 649

Ultra-cheap so-called thriller directed by the prolific (but not particularly talented) Sam Newfield under the pseudonym of Peter Stewart. A lot of talk and very little action makes for a dull experience.
