You can now watch this movie on YouTube with English subtitles that are nice and readable by a company called Knitting Needle. I hope the have done other foreign films that need to be subtitled. As for the movie it is a rather talky and thin on action, but nicely shot in widescreen compared with other euro spy movies of the era. The plot is coherent and easy to follow, but as far as the assembled team of thieves who pull off the heist, why did they need the fat sex trafficker whose presents was unclear to me except for some lame comedy relief and the guy and his nurse. All they needed was the main guy and the girl to pull it off.

Less a Eurospy film, more of a heist movie that the Italians enjoyed making in the mid to late 1960s. This one stars former Bond imitator Roger Browne as leader of a crew of robbers planning to get their hands on a large stash of Arab money, to which end an elaborate plan is set into action. Sadly this is an ultra-slow and talky affair with endless planning and tacked-on romance and character development that nobody asked for. It just sort of dawdles along and the heist itself isn't particularly thrilling either.

In the first hour nothing happens, just talk. Then, there is an attack of a minibus in an oasis but we do not see the stolen money at all. The rest of the movie, talk again. One of the dumbest movies ever made.
