Kiss The Girls And Make Them Die (1966)

A Brazilian industrialist (Raf Vallone) has plans to sterilize the world through massive doses of radiation via his satellite. An American CIA agent (Mike Connors) and a British M16 agent (Dorothy Provine) team up to stop him. Directed by Henry Levin (JOURNEY TO THE CENTER OF THE EARTH), this is a spoof on the spy films of the 1960s, notably James Bond. One has to question if the film makers understand what a spoof is however as there's nothing remotely amusing or clever in its execution. Also, there's no sex in the movie and that was a major component of the Bond films as well as other spoofs like the Matt Helm films. Connors is not an actor known for his light touch (Roger Moore he's not) and his performance is flat. The lovely Dorothy Provine is done in by Piero Gherardi's (LA DOLCE VITA) gaudy over the top costumes and a heavy make up job that mars her natural beauty. A limp effort all around but on the plus side, the Brazilian locations shot by Aldo Tonti (NIGHTS OF CABIRIA) are quite attractive. With Terry Thomas, Margaret Lee, Marilu Tolo, Beverly Adams and Sandro Dori.
