Well, it appears that I'm the first person reviewing "The Scorpio Letters". Makes sense, considering how obscure it is. I only learned of it because I made a list of movies to see, ranked by director, and I saw that this was Richard Thorpe's final movie (he had previously directed the Elvis Presley vehicle "Jailhouse Rock").

Anyway, the convoluted plot involves a US agent in England who uncovers a blackmail scheme that leads him to the French Alps. Probably the most noticeable thing about the movie nowadays is the appearance of Shirley Eaton, best known as the bikini-clad babe who experiences a yellow-painted fate in "Goldfinger". I guess that it made sense to cast her in another spy-themed movie.

Overall it's not a great movie. There were a lot of similar movies released around the same time, and they started to run together. You'll probably enjoy it if you like the sight of Shirley Eaton in sexy outfits.
