What a big fat nothing of a movie.
Richard Basehart plays a travel agent living in Hong Kong. A friend of his has piloted a plane with a courier in it, and the government wants his help in finding the courier; Basehart wants to clear the pilot's name, as the man is like a brother to him.
I really like Richard Basehart but even filmed in color this film had nothing to it except some beautiful location shots. I will say Basehart's relationship with the man's family was lovely.
Eric Pohlmann plays a bad guy, and Athene Seyler does a good job as the matriarch of the pilot's family.
It sort of reminded me of a bad Elvis movie - a travelogue, this time in another country.
One interesting thing - the last part concerns a real event, Massacre of the Sparrows (sounds gross, and it is), which was stopped the year this film was released.
