Ein Sarg aus Hongkong

I rate this 1964 movie a 10 because: it succeeds in everything the director tried to do. It's exciting; you often aren't sure what will happen next; there are a lot of plot twists; 1960's Hong Kong looks wonderful; it's full of local interest and life; the beautiful women aren't just beautiful, you care about them; all the actors excel. It's a detective story, not a spy thriller, but like a spy movie, you feel like you need to suspect everybody except the hero.

I read some reviews of 1960's European films like this, where the reviewers think the films have weak or insufficient action. That's not an issue in this movie! There's action all over the place! And, the lead actor, Heinz Drache--he's a cool guy. Understated, sense of humor, likeable. I saw a print of this movie, where it was all dubbed in English; Heinz had this very classy English accent, which I enjoyed! Highly recommended.
