Die Verdammten der blauen Berge (1964)

Die Verdammten der blauen Berge: Directed by Robert Lynn. With Lex Barker, Ann Smyrner, Ronald Fraser, Walter Rilla. When a millionaire’s valet is murdered he hires a detective to discover by who and why he valet was killed.

“Looks as if the otherwise meaningless u0026#39;Code Sevenu0026#39; in the title was there solely to try and tie this in with the then burgeoning spy craze, as producer Harry Alan Towersu0026#39; script (as Peter Welbeck) is, for by no means the last time, in the mode of Edgar Wallace in a tale of murder and revenge. Some superb filming of the picturesque South African backgrounds from Nic Roeg is matched by the underwater photography of Egil Woxholt who worked on several of the Bond films. Lex Barker is ideal as the New York investigator looking into threats on the life of wealthy businessman Walter Rilla, Ronald Fraser is a quirky police chief with an eye for the ladies and Ann Smyrner makes an attractive heroine. Victim Five has no pretensions other than to be an enjoyable u0026#39;Bu0026#39; picture and succeeds.”
