When Adam yells at Dr.
Steffanic if he's all right, the voice that answers back is clearly not Dr.
Steffanic's.
Ava is barefoot when she is captured and dragged onto the beach by the bad guys.
When Chance reaches her, she is wearing some boots to protect her feet.
She is barefoot again after Chance leaves her.
During the climactic fight, Chance tries to defend himself with the gun Ava gave him earlier, and is surprised when it doesn't work.
He has no backup weapon, and as a result Dr.
Stefanik is killed.
But after the fight, Chance tells his boss that he knew Ava was an enemy spy because he had found her secret communicator.
If Chance had known that Ava was a spy, why would he rely on the gun she had given him? When Ava shoots at Adam with the bow, the arrow hits the wall beside the open door.
In the next shot, when Adam ducks and runs towards Ava there is no arrow or hole in the wall.
This melodramatic mess of a spy movie is over-the-top in every way, although Peter Mark Richman, maybe best known as the attorney for John Forsythe in the first two seasons of "Dynasty", isn't really bad, just perhaps not as suave as one would like. He's assigned by boss Wendell Corey (whose eyes are as hollow as his performance) as much as you do to prevent enemy agent Martin Kosleck (still up to no good twenty years after the end of World War II) from utilizing a substance found on a meteor that landed in Russia from being used for biological warfare.
Gerd Oswald is known for his TV directing and some of his film noir work, like A Kiss Before Dying and Crime of Passion. He directed this thinking it'd be the pilot for a TV series and then, with the spy craze, it ended up being a theatrical release.
They tried, they really did, to get on the Bond wagon, but they didn't have the money to pull it off. So the action scenes involve our hero doing things you or I could do with a mild headcold--riding a scooter at a sedate speed, jumping in the back of a van that's barely moving, and running a wire from a TV to a door.
I've only seen this MSTied. As far as I know it's impossible to get this otherwise.
Gripping, edge of your seat spy thriller where nothing really happens, but at least there is some dull monosyllabic dialogue and a bad guy who sort of looks like Prince.
Everyone seemed to want to get in on the James Bond act in the sixties. Some, like 'The Man from UNCLE" were successful.
I saw this movie back in the summer of 1968 when I was eleven years old and it scared the pants off me and my friends. We never spoke once for nearly ninety minutes it was so absorbing.
Sorry, but Mark Richman is no Sean Connery. On his best day he might be a Neal Connery (see Operation Double-007).
