 Rated 4/10
Not at all what I was expecting, given the storyline, which follows a Soviet spy (Edmond O'Brien) attempting an assassination while an American agent (Robert Wagner) tries to stop him. That's supposed to be the plot, but it felt like a sub-plot that is given occasional time between a dull romance involving Wagner and Joan Collins, with another American agent also vying for Collins' affection. But even that plot device is shoved aside while the main focus of the film seems to hinge on a little Asian girl, who ends up becoming an orphan after her father (an agent, naturally) is killed in the line of duty. The pacing is lethargic with dreamy Japanese music connecting a lot of pretty travelogue shots that seem more focused on showing off the smoldering color processing and widescreen vistas than bothering with a storyline. Lots of pretty location shots, but precious little else.

If you're looking for a thriller, you're better off watching a grade B crime noir film.
