OSS 117: Mission to Tokyo 1966 is a lighthearted 1966 French eurospy movie. The world is held to ransom by a crime organisation with a super-weapon. Superspy OSS 117 is in Japan with two dangerous women to deal with. Energetic stylish fun.

Mission Bloody Mary (1965), first of the hugely entertaining Agent 077 eurospy films. With a stolen H-bomb and equally dangerous women. Stylish but gritty. Well-plotted, fast-paced and action-packed, very enjoyable. And available on DVD!

OSS 117: Mission for a Killer (1965), a solid French eurospy film that starts with a a series of suicide bombings in South America. Possibly the best of the OSS117 series. With three beautiful dangerous women. Stylish, and pure high-octane fun.

You might expect Claude Chabrol’s Blue Panther to be a lighthearted 1965 eurospy romp but it isn't. Chabrol is trying to deconstruct the genre and play other similar games. If that appeals to you you'll love the film. If not, you'll be bored.

The Killer Likes Candy, a 1968 French-Italian-German eurospy film. An assassin has one weakness - candy. He leaves candy wrappers at crime scenes.

Lacks the over-the-top fun of the best eurospy films but has decent suspense and some fine action.

Fantomas (1964), first of the popular French Fantomas adventure/crime films. Superficially with a lot in common with the eurospy movies of the 60s. Certainly influenced by the success of the Bond movies.

Based on the early 20th century Fantomas novels.

Fantomas is one of the great diabolical criminal masterminds.

Great stylish fun.

Another eurospy/eurocrime/eurocult movie that still seems to be impossible to get hold of is Umberto Lenzi's KRIMINAL (1966).

The 1967 sequel MARK OF KRIMINAL (directed by Fernando Cerchio) is Missing in Action as well. I've never seen either film but I desperately want to.
