The title under which I saw this movie ("Spy Today, Die Tomorrow") is much better than the movie itself. Lex Barker plays a CIA agent whose only distinguishing characteristic seems to be the fact that he's a ventriloquist! He is assigned to stop a villain whose only distinguishing characteristic seems to be the fact that he enjoys playing around with model trains. Oh, he also has stolen an atomic bomb and he threatens to drop it somewhere in the USA if they don't pay him one billion dollars. Sounds kind of similar to "Thunderball", and the film does boast OK production values and a good music score, but it's overlong and not too strong on coherence, either. The women have limited roles (as does, surprisingly, third-billed Brad Harris), which is probably another reason why I found this one often boring, which is the last thing a Eurospy entry should be. ** out of 4.
