EUROSPY BLOG ENTRY # 21 ----- Three obscure, almost lost flicks here at SUPERNATURAL THEATER ---
13 DAYS TO DIE!, The DIRTY GAME, and MAN ON THE SPYING TRAPEZE.
Spy action in Bangkok, Beirut, Berlin, Djibouti, Paris, and Rome!
By the time the third James Bond 007, Goldfinger was released in 1964, literally tons of European spy films were released for a decade. These were mostly low budget quickies attempting to grab a piece of the 007 pizza pie. Utilizing exotic or unconventional locations, sexy starlets, and many former American TV stars--- the Eurospy genre took off like a rocket!

German ---- 1965
and bang, gets shot dead for his robbing talents.
Some Gert Wilden music jazzes up the opening credits.
The frightened Prince Gulab of Thailand
is receiving a ruby each day.
Most of us would think that is a good thing.
But he was warned that he would die when he receives the 13th. stone. Oh no!
Most of us would think that is a good thing.
But he was warned that he would die when he receives the 13th. stone. Oh no!
Hence the catchy title --- 13 Days to Die.
Flying in to Bangkok
airport is his hopeful savior and international detective Ralph Tracy (Thomas Alder), along with his
cohorts Warren (big Peter Cartsten), and even bigger
muscular Pongo (muscleman Serge Nubret). Really? Pongo???
I know it’s such a stupid non PC name, but after all it was 1965.
And our main spy hero had two screen names. Rolf Torring in the European release,
and Ralph Tracy for the American straight to late night TV release by
Independent Television Corp. from New York City.
They were TV distributors of many cornball flicks like this in the mid 60"s.
And this was another wide screen Ultrascope film that suffered the curse of the Pan & Scan TV 16mm film prints. The picture cut off was always horrible.
As you can see from the Bangkok Airport sign.
Or I should say the Ngkok Airpo sign.

Then we learn that the bad guys lead by a geologist named Perkins (played by sinister Horst Frank)
are out to teach Tracy
a thing or two. An acid squirting water pot for Warren, poisoned butterflies, and an attempted boat kidnapping
start the hijinks in exotic Thailand.




Of course, the Prince is playing stupid, but Tracy meets a pretty museum employee Miss
Chitra (pretty Thai actress, Chitra Ratana). She tells that the design layout of the rubies in the stolen
necklace can lead someone to a legendary treasure of black rubies out in a
long lost city in the jungle.
long lost city in the jungle.
Of course. We had to get to the diabolical plot right away.
Bad guy Perkins has an unknown boss. He orders Perkins, who is a crooked geologist to get that fortune in stones. Greedy Perkins wants them all for
himself.
Perkins kidnaps poor pretty Chitra, then attempts to scare her into
telling him all she knows of the legend of the rubies. After tying her down, he
unleashes a bunch of big ugly spiders all over her. The fact that they look
like plastic Halloween toys don’t help us in the fear department.




The secret agent boys track and find Chitra in the nick of time. Of course.
We enjoy seeing a 1959 British sports car, the MGA, zooming around Bangkok.
After the rescue, Tracy sees a marking on her shoulder, and she says she had it from
early childhood. Ah haa, an obvious clue to the plot.
Perkins then shows how loyal he can be. Pongo finds her white bikini clad corpse later.
Now this is not a run of the mill corny spy film. Oh no.
We get a jungle chase after another kidnapping of Chitra.
Pongo gets a pet monkey to tag along on their adventure.
A pet monkey? Yes, and that monkey is important to the end of the story.
A pet monkey? Yes, and that monkey is important to the end of the story.
We also get tons of alligators after the boys while they forge a jungle
river.
Muscular Pongo saves Tracy
by killing an obvious fake rubber alligator.
Perkins finds the lost city, and it turns out the land is an uranium
field worth
billions and billions. --- Even better than jewels.
billions and billions. --- Even better than jewels.
We meet the big villain boss, and later Perkins dies dramatically (Horst
Frank plays such a great baddie). Tracy reveals that the radioactivity destroyed
not only the ancient lost city but the ruby treasure as well. The villains aren’t
thrilled with that news so -----
the good guys and cute Chitra get all tied up to a huge bamboo spring loaded flipper.
They will get thrown into the river full of hungry alligators! Oh my!
Will they get rescued at the nick oftim e???
Will this horribly plotted so-called thriller ever end???
Corny spoiler alert!!!!!!!

You betcha! Pongo’s pet monkey comes back to save them!
Being an animal lover sure paid off for the good guys.

Remember that scar on her shoulder? That’s the proof.
She becomes the Princess!
MY RATING --- D+ --- FOR DELIGHTFULLY DUMB.
From the cardboard sets, scary rubber items, and the joke of a plot, 13 Days to Die gets into
the Golden Turkey category of almost lost films.
the Golden Turkey category of almost lost films.
It got a theatrical release through Europe, and the producers probably hoped for a spy series to come out of it. But it didn't happen. I wonder why.
The English dubbed version went straight to TV in 1966, and broadcast for a very short while in both Black & White and full gorgeous Agfa Color.
The 16mm film prints were distributed by Independent Television Corp. of New York.
Unfortunately, after a short release on TV, many, many film prints
were destroyed by these film distributors. Literally, thousands!
Yes, destroyed. Sad.
But many prints were also sold in bulk lots to film dealers, then bought by film collectors
like myself. I got mine in 1973 from the long since closed, National Cinema Service on 57th. Street in Manhattan. I got loads of films over the years from film good guys, Ray and Bill.

It was really cool to actually walk in and buy film prints at a
New York City storefront back then.
Every time I'm near that spot on 57th St. I have to pause and reflect on those lost film days.

In 1989 and 1996, two American video companies used my 16mm film print to transfer from
to make the video master. Then they released on the VHS format.
Years later, DVD's and then Streaming. Time does fly by. lol.
In 1973 and 1979, I got both the gorgeous Agfa color & Black & White film prints.
Besides buying films by cash, old fashioned bartering & trading was also popular with film collectors back then. After you viewed a film, you would trade it to another collector for another title you wanted. It was a great way to watch a lot of films with a lot less $$$$ spent.
Feature films would be sold roughly from $50 to $500 cash
depending on the title and print condition.
I traded off the color print, and kept the B&W print. Home video did not exist yet.
Later, when it was desired for home video, I wished I kept the other print with beautiful color.
Ahh well. Who knew?
The above B&W screen shots were originally from my old 16mm film print.
In America, most of the old film prints have probably been lost.

One sad note ---- Thomas Alder acted in 26 film titles. He died in 1968 by suicide.
Pictured below ---- Alder with co-star pretty Renate Ewert in the Edgar Wallace mystery
The Red Circle. Renate died in 1966 by suicide also. Both way too young to die.
Check out the Red Circle in my Edgar Wallace blog entry.
Rare publicity shot of pretty Thai actress, Chitra Ratana, (aka. Metta Rungrat or Roongrat)
who also was also featured in RED DRAGON starring Stewart Granger.
That 1965 spy film was featured here at SUPERNATURAL THEATER too.
The cool Gert Wilden music was featured on this orginal German record.
Now it's easy to get the music on You Tube.


Up next at SUPERNATURAL THEATER ---- What do you call a tale of a double agent, a French Mata Hari, and a deep undercover Berlin escape? --- THE DIRTY GAME of course.
THE DIRTY GAME
THE SECRET AGENTS
Starring Henry Fonda, Vittorio Gassman, Annie Girardot, Bouvril,
Peter Van Eyck, Maria Grazia Buccela, Jacques Sernas, Jean Servais,
Robert Hossein, and Robert Ryan
Directed by Terence Young, Christian-Jaques, Carlo Lizzani, &
Werner Klinger
Produced by Richard Hellman
Music by Robert Mellin and G. P. Reverberi
Italy/France/Germany ---- 1965
During the sixties the Cold War was red hot, and fueled scripts for
hundreds of spy movies. Here is one that was almost lost over the years.
A plot narrated by General Bruce (Robert Ryan) at a bridge crossover
between East and West Berlin . He meets with
his equal of the other side (Wolfgang Lukschy) for a espionage trade.
Bruce is the leader of the undercover intelligence network through Europe .
Three connected stories take place in Rome ,
Berlin , and Djibouti
(French Somalia ).
We start in Rome
with Italian secret agent Perego (Vittorio Gassman). He works both good and bad
sides. When a genius professor invents a revolutionary fuel that both East and
West would like to have, agent Perego jumps in. He works along with a kidnap
for hire gang that will sell the Prof to the east.
He contacts the pretty member of the gang Natalia (gorgeous Maria
Grazia Buccela) and the rousing kidnap sequence starts. Much gunplay between
the Italian secret service with the police against the baddies ensue.
The Professor and Natalia (of course) are saved by Perego. Good job!
Will Natalia get Perego all to herself?
I would volunteer gladly.

Maria Grazia Buccela's beauty has graced many a pin-up, magazines, and films.
She electrified male audiences in the opening to Peter Sellers' comedy After The Fox, above.





Part Two --- We zoom off to Djibouti , Somalia (nowadays known for ship piracy). French agent Lelande (Bouvril) has a talent for blending in the crowd, because he is not a gorgeous hunk like 007, but a regular Joe. He’s an expert scuba diver, and that will come in handy when he’s after the baddies that have built a small (actually low budget tiny) but powerful underwater fortress to destroy not one but two US submarines in the Gulf of Aden .
Those bastards!!!! Go get ‘em Lalande!
The local agent, a banker named Dupont (Robert Hossein) is not to bright, because his pretty secretary Suzette (lovely Annie Girardot) is really the boss of the gang.
Not to worry, Lelande will save the day underwater.
If you expect a huge underwater battle like in Thunderball, you’ll be disappointed.
But Lelande foils the bad guys in a clever way.
Great character actor Jean Servais was cut to a few seconds of screen time in the US version.
One clever scene.--- Lelande’s attaché case packed with a fiery explosive, gets stolen by the baddies. Boom and burn! Lelande and Dupont go to the local hospital to see their latest burn victim & spy. Dupont realizes with a mirror, he’s not breathing anymore.
The cause is probably the big knife sticking in his gut.
Good dialogue ---- When Suzette attempts a fake flirt with Dupont to find out more about him, he says----Look I’m not James Bond, and you are certainly not Pussy Galore.--- Good line.
Part Three ---- Henry Fonda is a deep undercover Russian Dimitri Kourlov who’s been working for the US of A forever. Things were getting hot for him, and he’s got special info for General Bruce. So they planned an escape into West Berlin from the other side of the wall. Too bad Kourlov had to escape the night before to save his skin.


The good news----Kourlov made it through the shooting into West Berlin .
The bad news----The bad guys know where he is and they’re out to bump him off..
One of Bruce’s agents Petchatkin (Peter Van Eyck) puts him up for the night in a seedy hotel just perfect for a killing. The General won’t be there till morning.


During the rain drenched night, the bad guys tries to get in through the furniture blocked & locked door with no success. Then through the high up window, only to fall a long way
A sniper shoots the windows, and puts a bullet in his shoulder.
A sniper shoots the windows, and puts a bullet in his shoulder.
He makes it to morning when Petchatkin comes, shortly before the arrival of General Bruce. Kourlov gets a deadly bullet from him.
Kourlov arrives to find the corpse, but luckily sees a message written by soap on the
bathroom mirror --- Opera 3 it says.
bathroom mirror --- Opera 3 it says.
Intellegence figures out the location of the clue, finds the info, and they trap the double agent. We return to the bridge and General Bruce and he laments ----
MY RATING ---- C Minus.
The Dirty Game has a great cast, but a low budget coupled with an average story
so it becomes just a so-so film.
I originally saw it at the movies in 1966. Released by American-International Pictures, it got a healthy US release in tons of small theaters, drive-ins, then TV.. It was another short lived TV release due to being in Black and White, not a wanted Color film for the
huge amount of Color TV’s recently sold.
huge amount of Color TV’s recently sold.
This was another 16mm TV print I grabbed years ago from a great film dealer in Philadelphia.
Two video companies used my print to transfer from to release on VHS, then DVD.
Another film that could have been totally lost in America .
American International dumped tons of their TV and Theater prints in the 70's.

Just keep in mind, 70% of all films ever made have been destroyed.
Most by the film companies that originally released them.
Only in the last 20 years or so, large film companies have finally stepped up to the plate to save and restore parts of their film libraries.
Film collectors have preserved more films than the big companies have overtim e.
Film collectors have preserved more films than the big companies have over
Sadly in America , The Dirty Game was cut dramatically from the original 133 or 120 minutes down to 91. American-International released it solo, plus as a potential double feature. The 91 minute length also made it great for TV's two hour time slots to insert commercials.
I finally viewed the original long version under the Guerre Secrete title last month, in 2015. Wow, it's a whole different movie than what I have been familiar with since 1966.
The chop, chop, chop editing in the US version is definitely noticed.
Henry Fonda, and Robert Ryan boosts the star power.
The European cast gives it their all with some good energy, if not obvious performances.

I love Henry Fonda, but the middle America accent for a Russian spy was funny.
Robert Ryan's all knowing General Bruce holds the story together.
The ladies, Buccela plays sexy, and Girardot plays being coy very well.
Available on DVD. It’s worth at least one viewing.
Various shots of Annie Girardot. Her fantastic career spanned five decades with 160 film titles. Her performances seem like a French acting encyclopedia.
Five of my favorite Girardot titles---- Crime Does Not Pay, Live for Life,
Love is a Funny Thing, Dear Inspector, and this one, The Dirty Game.
She passed away at 79, in 2011.

MAN ON THE SPYING TRAPEZE
JERRY LAND, HUNTER OF SPIES
THUNDER MISSION
Starring WAYDE PRESTON
Helga Sommerfeld, Reinhard Kolldehoff
Antonio Duran, Pamela Tudor, Kai Fischer, Liz Halvorsen, and Noe Murayama
Directed by Juan De Orduna
Music by Piero Umiliani
Setting New York
--- Actually just a few stock shots of NY. The rest, footage in Spain .
An espionage thief name Stephanopoulos runs out of Rocket Motors with plans for
a revolutionary new rocket motor. A car chase ensues during the credits, and he
is shot up by security gunmen. The thief’s car crashes and a set of teeth are
laying near the corpse.
Now we go to Rome .
Yeah, for real. During a guided tour at the Roman Coliseum another corpse is
found by an American named John Parker.
Yeah you guessed it, he’s one of the bad guys.
Yeah you guessed it, he’s one of the bad guys.
Switch to the Spanish Mediterranean , a
handsome American spy named Jerry Land
(Wayde Preston) is in his hotel room with young lady in bed. Yeah, those spies are oversexed. The hotel manager, and a policeman come looking for him.
Land thinks he's being caught with an underage girl. "How old are you?"

Land thinks he's being caught with an underage girl. "How old are you?"
No, it's not that. Whew. The fact is, his big spy boss wants him back to work quick!
The world is in deadly peril! No, not really. This is a low budget
picture.


His big spy boss Dick Collins (Reinhard Kolldehoff) tells him all about the first two corpses, and the high tech 1966 teeth. The thief took pictures with a camera built into the false teeth. How smart is that? I know not too smart. But please, go along, for the sake of the silly plot.
Turns out there is a secrets for sale organization that Jerry has to find quick.
He’s off on the next jet to Beirut to investigate. Zoom!
Way back in 1966, the city of Beirut in Lebanon, was a great place to visit.
Nice beaches, pretty water views, luxury hotels, casinos, and lots of old history to visit. Unfortunately in the seventies things went violently downhill forBeirut . Such a shame.

Now one clue to the case, is Jasmine (Pamela Tudor), one hot dancing lady.
After she got Jerry all warmed up, they zoomed through town in Jerry's cool sports car ( a niiiice MGA convertible from England).
Unfortunately Jerry got blocked from a bunch of baddies, so he had to beat them all up. Even Jasmine knocked one out. She wanted her date to end nicely.
Land checks in to the famous Hotel Phoenicia. A bunch of movies shot there back in the sixties. Besides Jasmine, Jerry meets three more sexy ladies.
Solange (Helga Sommerfeld) a sexy historian being blackmailed by the organization.
Fawzia, the amorous hotel maid (Kai Fischer) that takes a big fall for Jerry.
Not romantically either. She goes off the high rise balcony.

And Lyda (Liz Halvorsen) a cute blonde that sets him up as the star of a private yacht party.
Turns out to be a torture party.

Want to learn a cool 60's, low tech spy trick? --- If you want to know if bad guys have snooped in your hotel room, just sprinkle a pound of baby powder on the floor near the door.
That will be a dead giveaway. ---- Smart huh?
We meet the wimpy badguy John Parker (Antonio Duran), a guy that sneaks around
with his spoiled dog. --- The dog gives away a big clue for the finale.

Fist fights, knife killings feed the plot, then ending in a big gun
battle at the bad guys lair beneath the ancient ruins of nearby Beirut . -- Bang Bang!
And no, I won't give away the secret of who is the big boss of the secret selling spy organization.
He was about to lose it all, all the money, and the eeeevil glory, over a dummy thief
with the fake teeth camera, and the bigger dummy John Parker.
with the fake teeth camera, and the bigger dummy John Parker.
And that goes for his little dog too. (Sorry for the Wizard of Oz line).
Of course we wouldn’t leave out beautiful Solange out of the finale. Neither would Jerry.
She and Jerry fall for each other and fly off into a long vacation romance.
Hey, you gotta have a happy ending.
My Rating ---- C Minus
Literally hundreds of quick, cheap spy flicks were cranked out around various countries in Europe after the huge mania for James Bond.
Man on the Spying Trapeze is a perfect example of these. But it's not bad.
It moves quickly, and has a simple plot, unfortunately too simple.
Wayde Preston plays a good American agent, almost talking like he came out of a western.
The girls are pretty. Helga Sommerfeld is gorgeous. She starred in a bunch of flicks fromEurope during the sixties.

Shooting at great locations is the strength of this movie.
This one is like watching a travelogue in scenic Rome , and then to the city and desert countryside of Beirut, Lebanon.




This had a decent release around Europe , but in America, it went straight to TV in 1966.
It was part of a TV package of a bunch of Eurospy films released by St. Regis Films.

Many obscure films released by small companies, had the 16mm film prints either destroyed for the silver nitrate scrap, or wound up being thrown out into dumpsters.
Lucky for some titles getting sold, that collectors like me grabbed up.

Years later, two video companies used my film print to transfer from, making

This would have been a totally lost film in the US .
Give it a shot. It’s worth a viewing.
Lovely actress Helga Sommerfeld performed in 35 European films mostly in sweet and attractive roles. The Secret of the Black Trunk was featured in my blog entry #13.
Two of my other favorites are 24 Hours to Kill also filmed in Beirut, which she has a solid performance, and the German western, Black Eagle of Sante Fe.
Spellings of her name varies from Elga, to Summerfield, etc.
She passed away at a way too early 50, in 1991.
Wayde Preston ---
Before some European spy films and westerns in the 60’s, Preston was best known for starring in COLT 45, an American TV western that ran from 1957 to 1960. The 6’4” actor was born as William Strange in Colorado . He was a Park Ranger, a rodeo performer,
a TWA pilot, and a Korean War vet.
a TWA pilot, and a Korean War vet.
He got a break after being in the TV western Cheyenne in 1955. Warner Bros. TV in Burbank cast him in Colt 45 as Christopher Colt. He played a gun salesman, but really was a government agent out to stop the bad guys.
He had a brief marriage to beautiful actress, Carol Ohmart. If you’re a spooky movie lover, you’ll know her as the cheating wife of Vincent Price in the 1959 classic
House on Haunted Hill.
Four notable Preston films out of 21 screen credits are Anzio , Long Ride from Hell,
Man Called Sledge, and Today We Kill, Tomorrow We Die.
Man Called Sledge, and Today We Kill, Tomorrow We Die.
One great thing about watching these great Eurospy flicks ---- the film locations!
Great exotic locales from around the globe.
Like with these 3 films --- Bangkok, Djibouti, Rome, Berlin, and Beirut.
A great way to travel, without paying for the expensive airfare. --lol.

13 Days To Die filmed in & around Bangkok, Thailand. --- Great scenery!
The French story in The Dirty Game filmed in Djibouti, back then French Somalia.

featured in many films.
Location shots can double for other places. Like this one below from
Man on the Spying Trapeze.
You would get lost with this road sign. These four US. towns are not in the same direction.
Movies from any nation can make errors about other countries.
