Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Part of the 1960s 'Eurospy' boom where Italian studios rushed out Bond imitations after Goldfinger's success, often with agents numbered 003-009 to avoid lawsuits.
Umberto Lenzi would later cannibalize this film's Cairo footage for his 1968 spy parody The Spy Who Loved Flowers, proving even he knew this was disposable.
