A little dull, but all those locations scenes!

An obscure spy movie

I wasn't aware that this movie existed until Channel 5 screened it one afternoon recently, so I set the video and taped it and was pleased I did.Robin Hood actor Richard Greene is an agent whose brother is murdered on the Spanish-French border and he goes out there to look for the killers. While in the process, he meets a woman played by singer Anouk Aimee and she helps him and, not surprisingly, they fall in love with each other. They come across a smuggling ring and it seems they killed his brother. This movie is beautifully shot in colour, despite the low budget. This surprised me.The scenes that were shot on location in Dover were very impressive. This gave you an idea what life was like in the 1950'sI rather enjoyed this movie and is worth watching if you get the chance, as it is rather obscure.Rating: 3 stars out of 5.

Lethargic thriller

This is the type of co production that flourished in Europe in the fifties. It was distributed in the UK by Associated British Pathe.Given that this was filmed in East man colour one can only conjecture that this was meant to be a co feature of even top of the bill.It stars Richard Greene with an extremely dodgy and fluctuating American accent.The problem is that this is a thriller without the thrills. It moves at a snail's pace to its very predictable conclusion.This marked the end of Richard Greene film career with the exception of Tales From The Crypt.,and his Robin Hood screen outing.Game awaited with Robin Hood.
