_**Meh espionage spoof with a young Raquel Welch, shot in Spain**_ A California skydiver competing in Spain (Raquel Welch) is enlisted by a secret organization to spy on a war defector (Tony Franciosa) in search of a vital H-bomb detonator.

the first five James Bond films from 1962-1967. Welch was in her prime here (26 years-old during shooting), looking best in the opening with a red bikini. Moreover, the southern Spain locations are exceptional, Franciosa brims with charisma and it’s always good to see Revill. Unfortunately, the flick’s burdened by a too-twisty script with stilted rapid-fire dialogue. It’s fun, but it’s not natural or compelling. Still, there are several worthwhile scenes, like the skydiving and bullfighting. The film runs 1 hour, 39 minutes and was shot in Andalucía, Spain, with some stuff done in Shepperton Studios, England. GRADE: C
