Lots Of Two-Fisted Espionage
28 January 2024
Steve Chancellor is dead. That causes a crimp in a CIA sting operation on a gold-smuggling ring that is branching out into counterfeiting. Fortunately, seaman Michael Craig looks exactly like him, so he is inserted into the operations. As he gets into fist fights with various members of the group,he gradually moves up in the operations, until he is able to lead the law enforcement operations directly to the people. They are holding off until they can grab everyone, so Craig has to continue the impersonation. However, the bad guys have a plant in the Surete.

I's a nice spies-vs-crooks thriller, with an able cast that includes Brenda de Banzies, David Kousof, Gerard Oury, and Eric Pohlmann, running from Paris to Marseilles. Of course it's almost all shot on sets, with a few stock photos to lend that ambience so desired by big movie concerns. Guy Green directs with an eye owards thrills more than character exposition, and the ultimate solution is not what I expected, which is a good thing in the murky world of the CIA.
