lovely to look at - and that's about it

Stopover Tokyo from 1957 is a film based on a Mr. Moto story, if you can believe it, and stars Robert Wagner, Joan Collins, Edmond O'Brien, and Larry Keating.

Wagner plays Mark Fannon, who plays an intelligence agent who goes to Tokyo to stop the assassination of the American High Commissioner (Keating) at a ceremony for eternal peace. Joan Collins works as a ticket agent at the airport, and she seems to keep pretty loose hours.

Edmond O'Brien poses as an American businessman, but in reality, he's on the side of the Communists and wants to make sure the assassination takes place.

The film is in beautiful color with wonderful location shots, and let's face it, the stars are pretty dazzling too. However, the film is boring. It seems to have cost some money, but little attention was given to the script.

It is hard for me to believe that Joan Collins was scheduled to play Cleopatra when you realize what 20th Century Fox threw at her, including Sea Wife and The Wayward Bus. However, probably by the time of Cleopatra, her stock had risen somewhat.
