Poster for the movie Das Geheimnis der drei Dschunken

Code Name Alpha (1965)

Stewart Granger is a government agent sent to Hong Kong after another operative investigating smuggling was murdered; there, he works with another agent (played by Rosanna Schiaffino), who infiltrates the criminal organization as a teletype operator. The plot is standard and the pacing seems a bit lethargic, and Granger is not particularly convincing as a spy, but nonetheless there’s enough in the movie, originally titled Das Geheimnis der drei Dschunken, to maintain the viewer’s interest.

  Mildly recommended. Otto judiciously thinks this movie is OK, but not great.

Movie 214 for 2021.
