Blonde Fracht für Sansibar (1964)

Blonde Fracht für Sansibar: Directed by Robert Lynn. With Steve Cochran, Hildegard Knef, Paul Hubschmid, Vivi Bach. An out-of-work and penniless American pilot is offered work in Mozambique and promptly becomes an unwitting pawn in a world of drug smuggling, kidnap and murder.

“Despite the exotic-sounding destination, MOZAMBIQUE turns out to be one deathly dull movie and another lame potboiler from producer Harry Alan Towers. The only thing really interesting about it is that it was actually filmed on location in the country, but sadly the film-makers fail to make use of their locale to add authenticity to the movie. It could just as easily have taken place in London.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe plot sees ageing American hero Steve Cochran off on his holidays when he runs foul of a drug smuggling ring and soon finds himself mixed up in all kinds of spy-style shenanigans. Cochran is uninteresting in the role as are the rest of the no-name cast; the director is more interested in his dancing girls with the likes of Hildegard Knef relegated to eye candy. There are a couple of very average fist fights here but itu0026#39;s all so dull and desperately James Bond style that you just wonu0026#39;t care about them or indeed anything in the movie.”
