synopsis
Listed in many sources as an American film, Agent Z55-Desperate Mission was actually shot in Italy. It is another in a long line of 1960s James Bonds wannabes, complete with dinner-jacketed hero (Gianni Rizzo) and a bevy of exotic females. The titular mission involves-what else?--preventing a megalomaniac villain from laying waste to the free world. The only truly recognizable name in the cast list is Yoko Tani, leading lady of many an adventure and sci-fi endeavor.
