Boring!

I love cheesy 1960s movies but this one had nothing to offer. I had never heard of it until it popped up on YouTube.

John Erickson stars after his moderate success on Honey West. He's attractive but no leading man. Also on board is Lola Albright, well past her shelf life as a screen siren. The big attraction is beautiful starlet Leslie Parrish, who is just as wasted in this film as in her other roles.

The plot is not only dull it is spread pretty thin. For a 1960s film it barely has any camp value, except for the silly, unintentionally funny death scenes in the beginning.

The real attraction is the location of the protagonists house on Naples Island in Long Beach. It is kind of a "poor" man's Balboa in Newport Beach.

Boy the smog was bad in Los Angeles in 1967.
