George Steele (John Ericson) is en route to Japan for a well earned holiday, but as an American agent, his lot is not a happy one, and he is diverted and given a mission to uncover a city full of Uranium.
Mildly diverting spy flick, with the usual mix of dames, booze and espionage, but with added sci-fi elements.

But Malloy is suspicious of Zoltan and tracks him to Spain. But what does Parisian fashion designer Lady Chaplin (Daniela Bianchi) have to do with the case?
Undemanding spy flick, that lacks a really bad mastermind.

Philip Scott (Stephen Boyd), heads a successful toy company, with a sideline as boss of a British spy unit. But then his cover is blown, and enemy agents kidnap his new love interest(Camilla Sparv) to pressurise him into revealing the identities of his team of operatives.
Breezy spy thriller, all be it one that proves unsophisticated, and uninvolving.

There he finds Nicole (Carroll Baker), scared of her boyfriend Klaus (Horst Frank), and the couple soon begin an affair, but all is not what it seems.
An Italian take on 'Diaboliques', that proves entertaining, but not much more.

The Third Reich plans to reward its officers by sending a "Pleasure Train" through Europe, staffed by beautiful prostitutes. Run by Elsa (Malisa Longo), a Nazi and former hooker, with a thing for S&M, and a determination to weed out traitors to the cause.
An unusually tame Naziploitation flick, that concentrates on the nudity and sex.

the vulture (1966)

"Leave strange happenings alone."
Atomic researcher Eric Lutens (Robert Hutton) is holidaying in Cornwall, with his wife Trudy (Diane Clair), whose ancestors are from the region. But his rest is spoilt when strange events start to happen, and stories of a vulture like creature abound. Stories that Prof. Koniglich (Akim Tamiroff) seems interested in.
Creature feature that lacks a monster, and entertainment value.

"You'll become a camp whore just like all the rest."
Women from a variety of Nazi occupied countries are brought to a prison camp, where the sadistic commandant uses them to reward his troops.
