Originally scheduled for TV release in 1969, but shelved for 11 years, this limp rehashing of THE MALTESE FALCON revolves around Vic Morrow, a charter pilot who gets involved with a plot to steal priceless engraving plates, and a deadly female, Suzanne Pleshette. Little wonder that Roger
Corman used the pseudonym Harry Neill for his directing credit on this one. The film was edited by gifted director Monte Hellman (TWO-LANE BLACKTOP; RIDE IN THE WHIRLWIND).
