Can you imagine a star studded cast like E.G. Marshal, Yul Brynner, Angie Dickinson, Trevor Howard, Rita Hayworth, Marcello Mastroianni, and Gilbert Roland all in one place - and they're all upstaged by Bond villain Harold Sakata/Oddjob, who pro wrestling fans like myself fondly remember as Tosh Togo. I might be a little facetious here, but really, this was a plodding ordeal from the folks who bring you rousing anti-Semitism on a daily basis, and most recently, U.S. national election inspectors who can't believe that ID isn't required to vote. I don't think this United Nations sponsored film was a success on either score, seeing as how it's a critical bomb, and the drug trade is bigger than ever. Oh well.
Along with the international cast and the globe trotting story line, we also get a somewhat unexpected appearance by singer Trini Lopez at a Monte Carlo night club singing his hit 'Lemon Tree' and a version of 'La Bamba' that sounded cool enough. The honorable mention of the picture has to go to Eli Wallach who showed up looking like he was doing an impression of Joe Pesci before anyone would have known who Joe Pesci was. Check it out if you don't believe me.
Well I'm almost there. I have this box set of two hundred fifty movies on DVD from Mill Creek Entertainment and I'm winding down now with about the last twenty or so films I haven't reviewed yet. Folks, this is a chore but I made a promise to myself to make it to the last picture. I wish this one was it.
