Viewing Notes
With Rod Taylor’s passing two days ago I thought it would be a fitting tribute to watch a few of his films since I haven’t seen many. Started with this one since it’s considered one his better burly macho man roles. Definitely the case as he gets involved with the gorgeous Suzy Kendall and a small time crime racket led by a bleach blonde William Smith. Not a great movie but has some great sequences with Taylor and Smith especially their epic brawl on the cruise ship. Worth viewing for that alone… plus Kendall, natch. Directed by Robert Clouse!
