Mission: Monte Carlo is a "movie" comprised of two episodes from the 1971 British/US TV series
The Persuaders - which accounts for the presence of
Basil Dearden, who died that year. The only element that the two hour-long episodes truly have in common is their setting: Southern France's Cote D'Azur. The discovery of an exotic dancer's corpse leads playboy secret agents Danny Wilde (
Tony Curtis) and Lord Brett Sinclair (
Roger Moore) on a merry chase after a gang of stock swindlers. This storyline is expanded with scenes from a second Riviera-based
Persuaders installment, written by
Val Guest, wherein Wilde and Sinclair pursue a contingent of gold smugglers. The guest stars appearing in this jerry-built feature film include Annette Andre,
Susan George, and
Alfred Marks. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
