When Eight Bells Toll

1971

Agent Phil Calvert tackles piracy and kidnap on the high seas off Scotland.

Convoluted and unfocused James Bond wannabe fails to grab despite good action sequences but anything with Robert Morley in can't be all bad though, eh?

Possibly the most obvious use of a stunt double during a graveyard fight scene where Bob Simmons almost gets a close up.
