UPPERSEVEN-THE MAN TO KILL 1966. As James Bond movie clones go, this was among the better ones. The fight scenes are more lively than the usual and it has a John Barry-echoing soundtrack. The plot is involves currency fraud designed to create economic instability as an unnamed Asian country making territorial moves on Africa--there's even a subplot about baddies using a virus to scare and distract people-- the vaccine proves to be deadly to take.
Features Karin Dor, Viva Bach, and Rosalba Neri. Upperseven (Paul Hubschmid) is an an expert sculptor who can make life-like masks of people and his enemies seek to see his real face. Alberto De Martino has some fun with Bond-inspired elements--so there is a Moneypenny character and the bedroom antics are not just played in a standard way--in one case Upperseven is in disguise as his enemy when he encounters the bad guy's mistress.
