As you saw over the last week, I’m a big fan of the Italian, so-called “spaghetti” westerns of the 60s and 70s. It’s somewhat surprising, given my love of spies, but I know next to nothing about the Eurospy genre that was booming co-temporaneously. I’ve got a copy of Matt Blake and David Deal’s Eurospy Guide ordered and on the way, but I’m looking for suggestions on which films I should start seeking.
Here are some films that I’ve seen / gotten / are on the way as well:
- The two recent OSS 117 comedies from France, Cairo Nest of Spies and Rio Doesn’t Respond.
- Deadlier Than the Male & Some Girls Do, the British Bulldog Drummond films,
- The Second Best Secret Agent in the Whole Wide World
- From the Orient With Fury
- Fury in Marrakesh
- Special Mission Lady Chaplin
What should be next on my list? Let me know by leaving a comment below!
