CODE 7 VICTIM 5 (1964) - This British film stars Lex Barker who starred in a few Tarzan films around 1950 and Old Shatterhand in those German Euro-Westerns. The story is extremely dull as this big businessman in South Africa hires a New York private investigator to solve a murder. Not sure what they were going for in t his film, but Barker is kind of a no action version of James Bond. He is driven around Cape Town in various vehicle by female attendants. The only good thing about this film is the excellent scenery of South Africa around Cape Town like the beach, Tabletop Mountain, Kanga Cave, New Year Carnival Parade, and the whole 60's Cape Town scene. Strangely the film keeps you watching thinking there must be some point to all of this, but we are deeply dissappointed.
(4 Out Of 10 Stars) If they could have added some kind of story or dialogue to go with the cinematography and location this film might have been interesting.
