Irving Allen missed out on the James Bond movies and spent the rest of the sixties trying to catch up. He got lucky with the Matt Helm movies, but not with this, which was meant to be the first in a series.
It's a sixties spy film with Judy Geeson great fun as a swinger having adventures meeting up with Vince Edwards, who seems bored and sinks the movie.
There's some pleasing views of Portugal, heavy hanged sixties satire of happenings. There's dancing girls like Beverly Adams and Tracy Reed, and Diana Dors popping up, smiling enigmatically, and being revealed as a baddy to the shock of no one.
Average action. It's fairly underwhelming apart from Gleenson who deserved a better movie.
