Trivia
Richard Johnson leads the cast in this 1960s spy film. Johnson was director Terence Young's first choice to play James Bond when casting "Dr. No (1962)." Johnson also appeared in the 60s spy flicks, this film's sequel "Some Girls Do (1969)" and "Danger Route (1967)."

Goofs
Elke Sommer, playing Irma, jumps out of a plane with parachute. Her hands and feet are bare. But in the following free-fall she has white gloves and white shoes on, obviously her stunt double.

Quotes
Robert Drummond: Now, Brenda. Stop playing hard to get!
Brenda: I am hard to get... but it's worth the effort.

Spy-spoof Thriller with Bikinis Galore!

This 1966 adventure flick was quite well done and Richard Johnson seems perfectly cast as the lead. The real treat of this flick is the women: Elke Sommer in a bikini with spear-gun is as attractive as any Bond moment, Suzannah Leigh, and the Italian beauty Sylvia Koscina. Nigel Green is great again as a corrupt adversary and the locations are great. This is a 7 out of 10. Best performance = Elke Sommer.

This blows away FATHOM with Raquel Welch. Tough chicks who are easy on the eyes in the mid-60's will always be a joy to watch. Don't sell this one short. Well worth the effort and a pleasant experience. This is definitely available so look for it if you dig those 60's spoofs!
