'Kriminal' (1966) - Umberto Lenzi.
The bravura Euro-crime director, and part-time cannibal fetishist, Umberto Lenzi takes a strident foray into the heady, glamorous, if not a little silly, cinematic imaginarium of the 60s euro-spy actioner; and, to be fair, he certainly gives it his best shot. While it isn't quite up there with Lenzi's uber-kult offering 'Kriminal', the delightfully playful film certainly makes for an adequate time-waster, and would be much appreciated by those refined individuals who enjoy this especially frivolous mode of day-glo bright, filmmaking fluff. '008-Operation Exterminate' is a truly zesty, luridly lark-filled ride, and makes a rather lithe, highball-quaffing companion to, Jess Franco's no less scrutable, 'Lucky the Inscrutable'
