Peter Martell, who made a lot of spaghetti westerns, is a less than likable lead; a swarthy brute with John Wayne delivery who&#8217;s always getting the gun knocked out of his hand. Martell is Mike Rand, an ex-Treasury agent who, we are told, was discharged from a high security post `for the good of the nation.&#8217; He must be a bad boy, all right.<\/p>\n<p>Rand says `man&#8217; a lot and sweatily muscles his way into bed with the high-class likes of Anita Ekberg. Her name&#8217;s Lou and she runs a women&#8217;s spa when she&#8217;s not shooting up drugs. Ekberg looks pretty darn good for a strung out junkie but she&#8217;s not given nearly enough to do here.<\/p>\n<p>The other big star, the one who&#8217;s given way too much to do is Dana Andrews. Andrews is Kelly, Rand&#8217;s boss, and he&#8217;s in on a surprising amount of the action in the film. One wonders why, exactly. Andrews seems pretty deep into the sauce and his boot-blacked hair doesn&#8217;t melt away the years the way they thought it would.<\/p>\n<div class=\"syndication-links\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The movie starts off well enough with a cheesy rock score by Anton Garcia Abril that leads into a cool psychedelic credit sequence but it&#8217;s all downhill from there.
