That was my towel 😉😉🐢

Last post by Rev. Powell - June 21, 2026, 10:38:13 AMDVDs were a big leap in quality and convenience over VHS. Blu-rays were a small increase in quality over DVDs and no increase in convenience. I'll still buy most things in DVD rather than Blu-ray if available to save money.

Amazon is now suggesting other early Max Pécas movies to me. This one is from his sexy spy thriller period.
This is actually not too bad. The Black Hand, descendants of the guys who killed Archduke Franz Ferdinand back in the day, have some nefarious plot and are infiltrated by both the Americans and the Soviets. You have crosses and double crosses, pretty girls either in glamourous sexy outfits or in their underwear, and the whole thing is filmed in rather a grand chateau.
However, and this is a problem for a spy thriller, there is a marked absence of suspense. The pacing is sedate, it seems more like a script for an episode of The Avengers (that is the British TV series, not the superheroes) that has been padded out to 90 minutes. Also, nobody seems to be in a particular hurry. Whether the villains execute their plans now or in six months doesn't seem to matter to anyone. It is never explained what these nefarious plans are exactly and what the McGuffin is supposed to do. All this makes it very hard to care about any of it.
Giuseppe Mattei (here billed as James Harris), who plays the protagonist, would go on to play Satan in Nude for Satan.
