J. Chandler is sentenced to death only to re-emerge as his own brother, courtesy of the CIA who have arranged the subterfuge so they can use him as a double agent. (Kino Lorber)

If there was an award for the most forgotten film of a popular genre, I'd have a candidate. An early poliziotteschi piece that badly wanted to be a spy flick, but never went further than an attempt. The story of the double agent is not as convoluted as my colleagues writes here, Miraglia manages to give the dialogue scenes a proper charge. The problem is that the real spice of wannabe Bond films, the action sequences, are three in total, very short and you won't remember any of them as they are bland. The genius loci of 1960s New York works quite well, but the film loses its visual charm when it moves to Hamburg and Berlin. Only the beautiful music with melancholic saxophone and the charismatic Henry Silva, whom I personally love in any movie, keep it above the average.
