FAQ

In the U.S. version during the pre-credit sequence, Candy is driving the bus, but in releases in other parts of the world (England, Sweden, Germany, and others), different girls get to drive. Why?

So bad it's frightful...what were they thinking???..., 8 October 2009
5/10
Author: Neil Doyle from U.S.A.

This William Castle B-film is all dressed up in luscious Eastman color and looks expensive enough to be called an A-film. But it's not.

The cast is headed by KATHY DUNN (extremely coy performance as a sixteen-year-old girl with a major crush on MURRAY HAMILTON). Seems she's a diplomat's daughter and housed in an embassy with other girls from various countries, all supposedly privy to some top secret information--and some of them on spy missions.

The script is full of lame dialog, the acting is below par--even for a William Castle film--and the story only shows signs of life toward the last fifteen minutes. By that time, most viewers will have turned off the movie or lost their attention span completely.

Insufferably bad acting from LYNNE SUE MOON as Mai-Ling is no help and she has a key role. NORMA VARDEN brightens things up considerably in a minor role as the head mistress of the school for girls.

But nothing really helps. Bad script and dull acting makes for a poor film. MURRAY HAMILTON is the only cast member to give a professional performance. HUGH MARLOWE is completely wasted.
