The Assassination Bureau plot

"Zeppelins. Bombs. Bordellos. Burials. You name It. We have It."

Journalist Sonya Winter is on a mission: to expose Ivan Dragomiloff's centuries-old murder club. She can't reconcile with the club's "noble" goal, which is to kill only people who "deserve it." To tackle them, she gives the club an assignment herself: to kill their own leader.

Bought this about a year ago on Blu-ray and watched it.

Influenced by the mega success of James Bond, a gigantic flood of spy films were released in all different forms in the 1960s, of which this spoof is one.

Anyone expecting a spectacular action-packed adventure like Bond's You Only Live Twice, or seeing lead actress Rigg, On Her Majesty's Secret Service, will be disappointed, because in terms of corny English humor this film has more similarities with a comedy like Those Magnificent Men In Their Flying Machines than a Bond film.

The idea and plot sound intriguing, but the execution is not and is rather vague, although everything the poster promises is ultimately included, including bombs and even a real zeppelin. Also many well-known figures in small supporting roles.

Still, the film looks nice and Reed and Rigg make a nice duo and it is of course never a punishment to see Rigg shine at her best.

A big six, or three stars.
