This would be hard thriller is one third violence and sadism ,two thirds Harlequin romance .
Plot: wicked Michael uses his girlfriend,Karen ,an air hostess,to smuggle cocaine ....until the day she comes back to find him in the arms of another girl ! And she did all this illegal business out of love for this boor. In a fit of anger,she runs away with the coco and throws it into the sea ; unfortunately for her and her ex-lover, Costa (Gordon Mitchell , ex-star of sword and sandals and spaghetti westerns)their boss is not prepared to accept such a waste ;so they begin to track down the runaway.
The movie is full of plot holes and implausibilities : watch out ,cause the airport is swarming with cops !it does not prevent Karen from escaping with the drug with remarkable ease .Karen 's virtuous friend and her family are abandoned to their sad fate without tears. And the junkie redeems herself by saving children from death,not once,but twice :what a stroke of luck!
Two thirds bland romance : Karen takes refuge in an old castle ,whose owner is a true gentleman ,a highbrow who falls for her and asks a doctor (Jess Hahn) to help her with her addiction problem .As it weren't enough ,the movie ends with lines tracing the history of the castle! The connection with the plot escapes me,I fear...
Best moment :Karen ,throwing the snow into the sea while singing "jingle bells "
