MISSION PHANTOM (1967) Fernando Sancho, Eduardo Fajardo, Ingrid Schoeller, Francesco Mule, Daniele Vargas. If you don’t take this film too seriously, you’ll probably love it. A shoddy band of “free souls” from a variety of countries and backgrounds are gathered together to pull off what seems to be a clearly "impossible" caper. This involves breaking into a highly-guarded place with seemingly impenetrable security. This movie has its share of techno gimmicks as well as intricate heist planning and execution. There’s a great scene involving an X-ray. It would have been nice if Schoeller’s strip-tease scene could have been a little longer. The English dubbing is pretty bad (though we’ve heard worse) but it’s part of the movie’s overall schlocky drive-in charm. Nice Color, from 16mm.
