Countdown To Doomsday Another competent Eurospy featuring George Ardisson, let down by plot holes which become bigger and more frequent as we go along and by the customary budgetary restrictions, which leads to laughable special effects during wh…

Ring Around The World aka (and IMO much better) Duel Around The World Richard Harrison returns for his third and final Eurospy, this time sporting a pair of glasses ala Harry Palmer. To me this is a solid production with a serviceable plot, …

Perhaps they should ask Sir Ringo to come up with something? Starr's idiosyncratic turns of phrase or "Ringoisms", such as "a hard day's night" and "tomorrow never knows", were used as song titles by the Beatles, particularly by Lennon. McCart…

Dune 2021 – Only A Mirage I found this latest version of Dune in many ways the most disappointing yet, with poor story-telling, and under developed, unengaging characterisation. Example, Gurney Halleck. This movie’s Gurney is completely one di…

Password Kill Agent Gordon Roger Brown’s third Eurospy is an incoherent mess. There are plenty of Bond-esque scenes which are ok when considered individually, but add up to less than the sum of their parts when taken as a whole. In other words th…

Dale Robertson worked his way up the Hollywood Western ladder, from bit part player, to second lead in female led productions, to lead in B Westerns, until he finally made it big on television, starring in the Western series “Tales of Wells Fargo” a…

IMO the only problem I have with FYEO is the villian, Julian Glover, who I don't find charismatic enough for a Bond villain. Others must have seen something in him though, as he also played a villain in "Indiana Jones & The Last Crusade" (Wal…

MI6's Got Talent M – Ah, come in 007, I’ve got a new mission for you Bond – What is it sir? M – We’re sending you under cover at the Miss World pageant Bond – Phawwww! I mean really sir? I thought beauty pageants had become something of a male…

Anthony Eisley starred in the private detective TV series “Hawaiian Eye”, and managed to combine that with a B (C, D, etc… all the way down to Z) movie career, which included one Eurospy. Operation Goldman (but as far as I could tell there is no …

Kill Panther Kill aka Three Blue Panthers The “Kommisar X” boys are back, this time visiting exotic… Canada eh! In particular the Calgary Stampede and the Montreal edition of the World’s Fair. There is also a sizable waterfall used in the finale,…

Kill Me Gently aka Three Green Hounds (And Three Heroes!) The fourth edition of this free-wheeling franchise is still full of energy and vitality, although I found the plot development was rather ragged at times, with some components not always s…

Thanks, I enjoy reading your comments too It can be a fine line sometimes, in retrospect I may have been a bit jaded when I reviewed Assignment K. There's still plenty to like about it, but they were probably aiming more for "Harry Palmer" rather…
