KOMMISSAR X: KILL ME GENTLY 1967 rewatch----Another of the Joe Walker-Tom Rowland spy movies--they are kind of like a Crosby-Hope team. I have seen this before--I wanted to revisit it because of Olga Schoberova. I am surprised she was not in a Bond movie. And she was from behind the Iron Curtain. These are silly adventures--there's some cute puppies (that's not an innuendo--there really ARE cute puppies in this)--this one ends with a talking donkey.
A STRANGER IN SACRAMENTO 1965 --Spaghetti western starring Mickey Hargitay who is away for a drink of water when his brothers and father are ambushed and murdered by cattle thieves. Mike then tries to find the people responsible for the crime but comes up against a powerful land baron. He saves a horse thief from hanging who shows up periodically to help him. Routine but ok.
THE SWEET BODY OF DEBORAH 1968 Carroll Baker and Jean Sorel in a murder mystery. I have seen so many of these euro thrillers now and yet the surprises always come as a surprise even though they should be obvious. You don't get too far ahead of the story as you watch since you pay attention to what's happening. I don't find my mind drifts from boredom to go--"I bet this is what happens." It holds you in a dream-like state and you just let it play out in front of you.
