"Irma Eckman" (Elke Sommer) and "Penelope" (Sylva Koscina) are two luscious assassins who work for a criminal mastermind named "Carl Peterson" (Nigen Green) who has them kill certain wealthy businessmen within the oil industry. "Hugh Drummond" (Richard Johnson) is a British secret agent who is investigating a number of these murders which immediately puts him in the cross-hairs of these two beautiful women-and they are very good at their job. Now rather than reveal any more of this film and risk ruining it for those who haven't seen it I will just say that this particular movie compares quite favorably with several James Bond films in quality and entertainment value. I especially liked the way in which it used the strengths of the main actors and didn't attempt to weaken the overall effect by indulging in too much comedy like several of its counterparts did during this period with varying degrees of success. In essence it remained focused just enough to render a final product which most James Bond fans will probably enjoy. Above average.
