      j f Sol Madrid. Am I nuts, or did Coppola "borrow " a couple things from this movie for The Godfather? Amazing cast. Heck of a picture. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/04/23 Full Review Steve D Feels like it wants to be Man From U.N.C.L.E. with the same production value. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 07/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Brian G. Hutton directed this solid if unspectacular international crime film. David McCallum plays an undercover narcotics agent who's out to convince a hit man to testify against a major drug kingpin. It's nothing you haven't seen before, but it's well done and has a strong supporting cast that includes Stella Stevens, Telly Savalas, Ricardo Montalban, Rip Torn (as a terrific villain), Pat Hingle and Perry Lopez. Lalo Schifrin provided a nicely jazzy Latin score for the films Acapulco setting. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Renata Adler New York Times It is a strong cast. Telly Savalas and Rip Torn, in particular, act fine, consistent villains-Mr. Savalas heavy, comic and civilized, Mr. Torn, callow and lip curling. Jan 9, 2018 Full Review Read all reviews
