Overview
Al Pereira, a wise-cracking superspy, investigates a series of assassinations being performed by ruthless killers with bronze skin and horn-rimmed glasses. The trail of these mindless automata leads him to the lair of a seductive villainess who has formulated a computer-powered plot to overthrow the governments of Europe. ‘Cartes sur table’ is at once an homage to classical Hollywood thrillers and a playful riff on the newly-popular James Bond films.

Viewing Notes
Like a warm blanket my kind of comfort film. Would be a fun one to pair with Alphaville not just bc of Eddie Constantine in the lead but this movie mentions Alphaville in a background ad (plus the b&w look and style).
I like this period of Jess Franco the most. His noir films and spy thrillers are so much fun. Also the original title of “Cartes sur table” (cards on the table) is so much better.
