"The perfect murder, with no inconvenient bodies lying about."Britain's space race team of scientists are hampered by a spy in their midst, and relationship problems within the team and their wives. Oh and the presence of glamorous female scientist Lisa Frank (Eva Bartok). It comes to a head when one of the team disappears along with the wife of another. Have they run off together, or has the jilted husband murdered them and smuggled the bodies onto a satellite?
The film promises much, (especially if you look at the poster), but delivers pretty little, it features much exposition, and very little in the way of space. A curio showing Hammer's ambitions to reach beyond the standard crime drama, but still very much earthbound. Two years later they again returned to the theme of space, this time with much more effect. A curio rather than a must see.
