This is yet another SUPPOSED "Bond rip-off", like nearly EVERY ' 60s spy movie. And as usual, it ISN'T. Which isn't to say it's a great one, but it isn't bad at all. One thing I notice in this film, and its "companion" one, called "Fireball", is the great "chemistry" between Richard Harrison and Wandisa Guida. Except that neither film seems to know what to do with it. What I mean is that, she was the "villainess" of each film, but the very aloof kind, and she would've been that much better as the all-out "femme fatale" kind, especially in scenes with Harrison. Speaking of Bond movies, these two always make me think of Sean Connery and Luciana Paluzzi in "Thunderball", and I think that Harrison and Guida could've been a sort of "Euro spy film" counterpart, but especially if they'd been used as an actual couple - again the hero-femme fatale kind. I don't know about the ending, though - WHAT happened to the villainess, and from WHOM, seemed to me a little "theatrical" for a spy story (at least, the "escapist" kind).
