(4 out of 5 stars)

"This 1966 entry in the genre is defenetly one of the most entertaining! Its fast moving, have lots of fun, and gorgeous locations.(Ofcourse!)
In other words, it,s very typical for it,s kind, but directed by a good,inventive director in the action/adventure genre thru the years: Anthony M. Dawson (Antonio Margueriti) And it,s got a cool, fast moving screenplay by profilic producer/writer/director Alfonso Balcazar.

Anthony Eisley is superb in the male lead, and a far better actor then many other guys associated with the genre(No offense, Thomas Hunter, Richard Harrison, Kerwin Mathews, Lex Barker a.o. I like some of your work too!)
Wadisa Leigh and the rest of the sexy,beutiful girls, are doing a fine job with their parts.
Okay, there is some stupid scenes, aspecially one including a waterfilled silo, but its not a film to take seriousely in a way, that some weird scenes will spoil the rest.

Filmed in widescope, the dvd transfer is only 4:3 standard, and thow the picture quality is not bad, it`s far from perfect. This goes for both the anton release and the one from sinister cinema.
The anton dvd,s atleast have a menu with chapters, while the sinister version includes the original trailer.
Its NOT bad dvd products, and the color is excellent, but perhaps they could have been even better. Anyway, i defenetly recommend it!"
