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.

It's amazing that with so many cult seemingly now available how many wonderful movies have still not been released on DVD/Blu-Ray.

Great eurocult, eurospy and eurocrime movies like Seven Golden Men, Lightning Bolt and Golden Claws of the Cat Girl. These are fantastic movies.

I loved television when I was tiny. "The Protectors" was a huge fave. The excitement, the adventure, the glamour.

That was "back in the day" before the UK joined the now , and then stupidly left. (Sigh.) "The Continent", as we called it back then, was a big and mysterious place full of "Heidi" and very dark forests and very Gallic and "continental quilts" a.k.a. duvets. Olive oil we now use for was sold in chemists not grocers!
