Actually directed and filmed in 1978 (not 1988).
Janssen is an ex-C.I.A. agent who now makes his living as a writer. His first book, a nonfiction piece, managed to make his former employers very uncomfortable, his next two books were fiction and they flopped. So, now he is in Athens, supposedly on vacation, but it also happens to be a place where he ‘worked’ quite often. Also, there are rumors that he is working on another book, something like the first one. This makes the local representatives of ‘the department’ very nervous. Even worse, a friend of Janssen’s (played by Merli) has a tape, referred to as “dynamite” at one point, containing information that would be damaging to a lot of people. Regardless of what’s recorded on that tape Janssen is the one who finds himself eyeball deep in trouble (taking the ever-beautiful Clery along with him) and before it’s all over you’ll experience some mean-spirited violence, car-chases, and no small amount of ass kicking! A great movie with yet another fantastic soundtrack provided by Stelvio Cipriani. Forget the washed out Greek prints, forget the fullscreen (and scratchy) Japanese release, enjoy this uncut widescreen print.
