Mozambique (1964)
An unemployable pilot (Steve Cochran) because of an air crash in which he was the sole survivor is offered a job in Mozambique. But what he doesn't know is that he's just a pawn in a bigger and dangerous game. Produced by low budget schlockmeister Harry Alan Towers and directed by Robert Lynn, this sluggishly paced international action-adventure never catches fire. This was Cochran's last movie, seven months after its British premiere, he would be dead so it's a pity it's not better. Filmed on location in Mozambique, cinematographer Martin Curtis makes excellent use of the exotic locations including Victoria Falls. The plot is simple (or should I say simplistic) but it's just not very exciting. With Hildegard Knef, Paul Hubschmid, Martin Behson and Vivi Bach.
