Gerd Oswald is known for his TV directing and some of his film noir work, like A Kiss Before Dying and Crime of Passion. He directed this thinking it'd be the pilot for a TV series and then, with the spy craze, it ended up being a theatrical release.
Adam Chance (Peter Mark Richman, Dr. Charles McCulloch from Friday the 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan and Chrissie's religious father on Three's Company) works for the American spy agency H.A.R.M. (Human Aetiological Relations Machine). That may be the most ridiculous acronym ever. I mean what is aetiology? Research tells us that it's the British spelling of etiology or the study of the causes and origins of diseases.
In this adventure, Chance has to protect a Russian defector who has created a skin-eating weapon. Complicating matters is a double agent - the defector's niece Ava Vestok, who is played by one of the first ladies of giallo, Barbara Bouchet. Yes, that's reason enough to suffer through this silly little spy film!
Martin Kosleck is in this as a villain. He was a German actor that hated the Nazis and Hitler so much that he set out to play them in every film to show how horrible they were. In fact, he played Joseph Goebbels five times. He's a Russian here, though.
Vincent Price's least favorite actor - Count Yorga himself - Robert Quarry, is also on hand, as are Rafael Campos (The Astro-Zombies), Robert Donner (Exidor on Mork and Mindy) and Playboy Playmate of the Month for December 1963 and 1964 Playmate of the Year Donna Michelle. She's also in the two theatrical movies made from episodes of The Man From U.N.C.L.E., One Spy Too Many and The Spy With My Face.
Looking for someone to blame for all this? It was written and created by Blair Robertson, who wrote The Slime People. She's also Mrs. Castillo in that movie.
