What would you do if you had to fish a girl out of the water and found out that she had a fish hook inside her? Find out who was responsible, especially when later, a victim ends up brutally killed, simply grabbed, kissed then tossed into speeding traffic by the psychotic William Smith. Rod Taylor has a terrific role as the man who witnesses the near murder, having seen the girl tossed into the water, and having got any information out of her decide it's worth investigating. Smith truly is one of the crazy of all crazy villains in the movies, suave and charming it seems, but truly dangerous when his violent side comes out. Taylor is suave, but only violent when necessary, so he is a mouse while Smith is the cat as he does his best going to exotic locations after he finds out the information he needs to stop Smith in in his tracks.
It appears that Jane Russell may have been nearby when they shot this film because she has a few minutes on screen as a socialite aboard a yacht throwing a party as apparently been going on for a very long time, yelling things to Taylor from her bow to his, and that's basically how Taylor begins to put pieces together. He's surrounded by an ensemble of lovely ladies including Suzy Kendall and Ahna Capri, with Theodore Bikel also making a cameo appearance. Terrific location footage, a fun bond-like theme song and plenty of the actionengages the viewer throughout, and just when Smith thinks that he's beaten Taylor and gotten away, his cat like a villain is surprised that the mouse has not given up. Fantastic conclusion that is actually quite frightening when you see Smith after he's been startled by the mouse.
