This entry is yet another spy thriller, set against a colorful circus background. Unfortunately, Alfred Weidenmann's direction is not only disappointingly flat, but takes very little advantage of the colorful opportunities offered by actual location filming inside a real circus. And alas, the director's lack of insight is mirrored by Karl Lob whose color photography does not do any justice at all to the lovely ladies in the cast such as Daliah Lavi, and most particularly Senta Berger, here making what is described in the credits as "a special guest appearance" in a very small role.
On the other hand, the plot maintains a moderate amount of interest, and the movie's budget could certainly be described as "expansive". We are treated to much actual location filming against scenery that is certainly most attractive. The players, especially Pierre Brice, Heinz Drache, Anton Diffring and the normally super-delicious Daliah Lavi, are all in fine form.
