Featured reviews
After a terrorist blows up some sunbathers, we find smart American spy Audie Murphy (as Mike Merrick) on a plane to Egypt. On board, Mr. Murphy meets attractive Marianne Koch (as Helga), who turns out to not only be his romantic interest, but also the daughter of the man he's going to confront. Murphy is on a mission to foil her father, neo-Nazi scientist George Sanders (as Schlieben), who has an atomic rocket and plans to use it for world domination. Arabs and Israelis are also involved in this mess. The highlight involves Murphy's attempt to escape from Mr. Sanders' compound. The later "Trunk to Cairo" endeavor is anti-climactic.

It's amazing that George Sanders lowered himself to this. Things must have gotten bad for him. He is still a great screen presence, but he seems out of place among the crude voice-overs, TV drama scenery, and awkward direction. This is truly an awful film.
The plot centers around an Arab plot to murder Germans and cast the blame upon Israelis. Surprise surprise, it's an Israeli-West German co-production -- in other words Mossad-CIA propaganda. Childish and poorly made, this film illustrates the crude methods of the "intelligence" community.
It's got the feel of a Cheech and Chong spy thriller. It would be funny if it was clever - but it's not. It's pathetic and tiresome.

Audie Murphy Does not fit in the role of janes bond
Those in charge of making the film did not seek accuracy with regard to the filming locations or the appropriate costumes for the residents of Cairo at this time, inclyding acting to the point of spelling errors in writing the Arabic words written on the panels. Even the people who speak the Arabic language have their pronunciation wrong and their shape is not like the Egyptians. Even the choice of music is wrong. Frankly you feel directly it's madeby amateur and professional.
Or propaganda to serve a particular party It's just 1side propaganda In my humble opinion i can just evaluate this film by giving 2 star complimentary for for the sake of Sanders and Murphy other than that big zero it's disappointing movie.

I'm an Audie fan and I enjoyed seeing this Murphy as Bond film, it was just so odd and interesting. I think it's worth tracking down.
