In 1972, Georgio Ardisson was at the height of his career, having made several successful Sword & Sandal movies and a run of Spaghetti Westerns. He also had major successes' as a Euro-Spy. Why he would make this strange movie, is beyond me.

This is a movie with live actors who just stand around and make speeches. They look straight ahead and talk but there is no interaction between them. George Ardisson wears makeup that looks like silver paint. All the other actors are female and have wild hair dos and have elaborate and wild makeup coloring on their faces. Some of them are topless. The locations are in a cave, in a wooded area and by a rocky shoreline. The story line escapes me. It looks very much like a stage-play but filmed outdoors. It is more like an Art film, than a Cinema release.

Watch it only if you are a Georgio Ardisson fan.

I saw this movie, in Italian, several times in the late 1960s. Then several times on TV in English and now there is a fabulous DVD available to enjoy. This movie has lots of gadget, gals and action for any Spy fan. Ken Clark is believable as the indestructible secret agent, especially when he has a vast array of beautiful women to work through. Margaret Lee and Michaela are worthy partners for 6'4" Ken. When Ken Clark wasn't filming movies in Europe, he would "see the sights on his motorcycle, with fellow actor Dan Vadis". In this film he jumps on a cycle a few times, as part of the story line. The only thing I always hated about this movie was that Ken takes forever to kill off the bad henchmen. If you want to see great spy action, this is a must see film. Larry Anderson.

Ken Clark plays a race car driver, who somehow gets mixed up with real spies. Ken keeps on trying to get them to leave him alone, but they keep involving him. He manages to fall in love with the lovely Beba Loncar , who is the central pawn in the conspiracy. After all the usual car chases and shootouts, all the answers are made clear. When I first heard of this move, I thought it was just a continuation of Ken Clark' run as a James Bond imitation, but it wasn't. After the overly complicated story line is unraveled, and the dust settles, the story actually makes some sense, sort of. In all TV versions and video releases, there is a 2 minute segment cut out, which has Ken Clark in a bath house were all the women are topless. That segment is only seen in the recent Italian/English re-release. Even though it is released under many titles, this movie is still hard to find. Larry Anderson.
