Review: I’m a big fan of films like Diabolik, Superargo, Eurospy, etc… Anything with 60s chicks in go-go boots, running around with weapons, with cool pop music orchestration is fine by me. I loved that i coud grab hard to find films (with Eng subs) like Satanik, Kriminal, Fantomas, etc… So i’ll endeavour to contribute what I have…

Lets start off with one from Jess Franco’s catalogue of a thousand films… lol
Based on characters adapted from a BBC radio serial & turned into novels by author Sax (Fu Manchu) Rohmer. Filmed in Spain & Brazil.

Lets just hope that the other Shaw Bros studio lensed film from 67, The Million Eyes of Sumuru, geta a DVD release one day.

Now I’m not overly praising this film, because, well it seriously needed to up the action/sleeze quota, the lead actor is a personality free zone & it kinda meanders all over the shop, but overall its full of chicks in skimpy outfits & funky looking Brazilian architecture. It coud’ve been incredible, because i just misses the mark, but its still enjoyable if you are a b-grade enthusiast like me who doesn’t mind the lack of the ‘what should have beens’. And it’s a great looking 35mm print.
