With his dying words, "July the 18th, the One-Eyed Soldiers", the head of a United Nations Relief Organization sets off a flurry of activity to locate a missing treasure worth fifteen million dollars. This probably sounds like it would be pretty exciting stuff but it was no Tales of Wells Fargo. For the uninitiated, that was Dale Robertson's TV Western series back in the late Fifties/early Sixties. It looks like it didn't take that long for Robertson to pack on a few pounds for his star turn here, and would you get a load of that hair! He really didn't look like leading man material here opposite Lucianna Paluzzi, but then again, this was a quick one-eighty for her as well. Paluzzi hit the big screen as a James Bond femme-fatale the same year in the classic "Thunderball" opposite Sean Connery.
You know, I had a thought during that early scene when the midget gangster had some poor sap hung over the ocean. Since the doomed guy was going to die anyway, why not just reach out and grab the little bugger as the rope snapped. Wouldn't that have been something? It would have been at least as funny as the Ugly Lady/Fat Man case of mistaken identity.
Well I don't know that there's a lot to recommend here. Fans of either of the principals might want to catch it just to be able to say they did so. The question I'd have to pose to the folks at Mill Creek Entertainment is why they packaged this flick in with their set of two hundred fifty Western movies. Could it be the story was set in a mythical West European country?
