Spy Today, Die Tomorrow (1967)

This dull spy flick, originally titled Mister Dynamit – Morgen küßt euch der Tod and also known as Die Slowly, You’ll Enjoy It More, stars Lex Barker as a West German secret agent called in to assist the United States when a master criminal is using a missing atomic bomb to blackmail the country. The movie is weighed down by a flabby script full of plot holes (it appears that the entire situation could have been resolved much more easily, and with little loss of life), unclear jumps in the story, and unbelievable — yet unexciting — action sequences. Barker is OK but doesn’t do too much; also on hand is Brad Harris, though his role is on the small side. The chief villain is an avid model railroader, and it is amusing to see that even his transportation contains layouts, but the quirk isn’t enough to add a lot of appeal to the movie.

  Not recommended. Otto thinks you should avoid this movie.

Movie 97 for 2022.
