There is nothing good about this film. The catalogue of all its sordid B-class shortcomings would be endless. Even the music fails completely in desperately trying to add some romantic feeling in this cold-blooded orgy of superficial gangster nonsense. Stewart Granger is fairly good, he always is, but it is sad to see him in such an almost humiliating performance in comparison with all his splendid earlier films. Daniela Bianchi was the Bond bride in "From Russia with Love", and here, like most Bond brides in most of those films, she does not survive, but she is the only comfort in the film for sore eyes, that find no other beauty in Tangiers, which should be an exotíc enough magnet, but here you see nothing of it, just hoodlums and murders and an intrigue growing the more boring the more complicated it gets. Sorry, I never gave much for all those Bond movies, with some exceptions, but to make a travesty of all the worst and cheapest of them just isn't worth while.
