the red nights of the gestapo (1977)

aka Le lunghe notti della Gestapo.
"There are still enemies within..."
WWII and a group of German businessmen who are known to dislike the Führer, are brought together by Colonel Von Uhland (Ezio Miani). His task is to find out what they are up to, believing they plot to overthrow the Reich. To do so Von Uhland pairs each man with a beautiful woman to seduce them and unveil their plans! Obvious really!
A story that gives plenty of room for sleaze, though it tempers such moments with plenty of talk.

the vengeance of fu manchu (1967)

"Let the judgement begin."
Evil mastermind Fu Manchu (Christopher Lee) plots revenge on his nemisis Inspector Nayland Smith (Douglas Wilmer) of Scotland Yard, planning to discredit and murder him.
scant script and rudimentary direction make for a less than thrilling adventure.

deadlier than the male (1967)

"You always did have the morals of an alley cat"
British agent Bulldog Drummond (Richard Johnson) is assigned to stop a master criminal who uses beautiful women to do his killings, including Irma Eckman (Elke Sommer).
Episodic, but decent attempt at a Bondesque spy thriller.

crooks in cloisters (1964)

"Don't forget to take the plates."
The heat is on for a gang of crooks, and their boss decides to hide out on a Cornish island. Unfortunately once there they find they have to live as monks in order to fool the local plod.
The cream of British comedy talent, (including Ronald Fraser, Barbara Windsor & Bernard Cribbins), are brought together to flesh out this slightest of stories.

the million eyes of sumuru (1967)

aka The Million Eyes of Su-Muru.
"We have but one weakness that needs to be routed out and destroyed, Love."
The beautiful but evil Sumuru (Shirley Eaton) plans world domination with her all female army. Agents Nick West (George Nader) and Tommy Carter (Frankie Avalon) are sent to an Oriental country to help President Boong (Klaus Kinski), and stumble in on the plot to replace him.
A film with all the right ingredients, but just mixes them up wrongly.

catch me a spy (1971)

aka Keep Your Fingers Crossed. To Catch a Spy.
"These lips are sealed."
Fabienne (Marlène Jobert), marries John Fenton (Patrick Mower), after whirlwind romance, and honeymoon in Rumania, but whilst there John is arrested by the secret police. Attempting to get her husband released, Fabienne bumps into Andrej (Kirk Douglas), who is posing as a hotel waiter, he offers her a drink, and next thing, she's herself waking up on a flight back to Britain...confused, but determined to get her husband back.
Unfortunately this is a comedy with a distinct lack of laughs.

death is a woman (1966)

aka Love Is A Woman.
"What's the matter? Never seen blood before?"
A British agent Dennis Parbury (Mark Burns) is sent to a Mediterranean island to undercover who is controlling the dope smuggling, but finds himself framed for murder, and has to divert his attentions into trying to clear his name.
Exotic location, stylish women, and a swinging 60's soundtrack, unfortunately none of these can divert from the stilted story.
