Maroc 7 (1967)
Lavish 60's crime drama showcasing Moroccan locations as exotic as the many women who model in them. Gene Barry investigates Cyd Charisse and her model agency to try and break an international fraud operation.
Whilst the plot is slight and the whole thing is typical style over substance 60's escapism there's still entertainment to be found. Barry comes across more Dean Martin than Sean Connery, although his fight to the death in a flooded temple with Leslie Phillips (yes, that Leslie Phillips) is pure Bond thuggery.
Network's dvd print positively sparkles.
