I cannot trace any evidence that this film was ever screened outside the USA and (according to IMDb) Norway. Probably it was, but presumably this did not have much of an impact at the time. An NTSC VHS version was released under the title "Pepper - Secret Agent", and I acquired a copy when I purchased a boxfull of nondescript tapes from a rental outlet that was closing down - I still do not know whether there was any connection! Today you are most likely to catch it on one of its somewhat rare late night TV showings. In fairness however it is better made than most films of the same type. Its basic failings are its total unbelievability, and acting that really does nothing to compensate for this.
It is probably best classified as a comedy thriller, and features an undercover agent "Pepper Burns" who gets mixed up with the shenanigans of a crime syndicate operated by Mme Chang, who holds a very high position in UNICEF that appears to give her access to the most confidential decisions made by the Security Council. This gang has ambitious financial goals which lead to murder and mayhem the moment the film starts. If this type of film appeals to you it may prove quite enjoyable to watch. Generally speaking I find such films rather boring and often turn them off very quickly, but this one was more stylish than most and it kept me amused throughout most of the hour and a half that it ran. Pepper is a private investigator who is brought into the story when her phallic shaped bedside personal alarm starts flashing red in a most decadent manner; within a very short time she has to deal with not only murder but seduction, extortion, blackmail and ultimately the threat from nuclear weapons; all without her makeup ever getting ruffled (although she does sometimes find it necessary to shed a few garments). It is both totally mindless and totally harmless. The story is more full of holes than any of the corpses which are featured. If you want to watch it you have been warned - there are both better and worse films of the same genre and the choice is yours.
