Women are indeed more dangerous than men, I know it from my own experience. Sylva Koscina (34 years old when the film was made) and Elke Sommer (27 years old when the film was made) lookalike two Amazons-sirens just came out of the sea and you don't know what is more dangerous, their personal charms or their deadly harpoons. Also, who's cigars smoker, would do well to check that smoke from now, lest to shoot himself tugging fumes, because Elke Sommer is still alive. Very entertaining action movie, I've seen it many times and I'm always watching it again with great pleasure.

I was very surprised by this film. While it is supposed to be a Bulldog Drummond movie, it's really a James Bond type picture...and a pretty good one. While the plot doesn't always make sense, I have to remind myself that plot holes and ridiculously overly complicated murders are also found in just about all the Bond films! So, when in the opening scene a woman plants an exploding cigar on someone and after he's dead she activates a bomb, your brain says 'why didn't they just plant the bomb?'. The same goes for a few other scenes such as having a judo class only a foot away from a balcony ledge? Just turn off your brain and go with it!!So what does the film have going for it? Well, Dick Johnson (nice manly name, huh?) is very good in the lead--reasonably handsome but also quite physical and a decent actor. Also, the plot isn't as insanely BIG as many Bond films as the killings are for profit and the baddie isn't quite a Blofeld in his sensibilities. Overall, well done and well worth seeing.By the way, the version I saw had the German working title 'Heisse Katzen'--literally 'Hot Cats'--most likely a reference to the beautiful women (including Elke Sommer) who are the assassins.

"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.

This two Ladies are absolutely sizzling in this movie. I saw it in 1968, in a german cinema. i hope it will be rereleased on DVD, so I can purchase it. They are not only playing the aggressive fem fatales, they also dressed to kill. I love the ultra feminine fashion of those years. Also one of the best "007 genres" movies I have seen.
