(actor & director credits courtesy IMDB.com)
A superhero with telekinetic powers and his associates follow the trail of a lovely villainess planning a master international crime.
We have here a wacky and entertaining romp from Italy, although filmed in Britain and France, aping super spy films, only with a hero dressed in yellow and black crimefighting togs instead of a secret agent, although his romantic playboy alter ego gives him plenty of time to pursue the ladies. At times I found it moved along a little slow, but key action sequences were enlivened by Piero Umiliani's catchy music score and well choreographed fights. Browne fills out the super-suit well enough, and the production values employed in the construction of Boschero's hideout are of a similar quality to those of the Bond villains of the period. Boschero is also welcome as a rare female nemesis during the period, with plenty of flamboyant outfits in her wardrobe. There's plenty of sexist overtones throughout the film, but Boschero proves to be a worthy adversary, with some cleverly scripted surprises in store for our hero.
