''A Man Called Dagger'' (1968) is a low-budget spy film that was the first collaboration between director Richard Rush, cinematographer László Kovács and stuntman Gary Warner Kent (who also did the film's special effects〔p.125 Albright, Brian ''Wild beyond belief!: interviews with exploitation filmmakers of the 1960s'' 2008 McFarland〕). It was filmed in 1966 by Lew Horwitz's Global Screen Associates (GSA) under the title ''Why Spy?'' The film was originally intended to have been released by Mike Ripps' Cinema Distributors of America (CDA) in September 1966.〔http://www.tcmuk.tv/movie_database_results.php?action=title&id=82554〕 When GSA and CDA's partnership collapsed, the film was picked up by MGM and released a year later.〔p. 20 Lisanti, Tom & Paul Louis ''Film fatales: women in espionage films and television, 1962-1973'' 2002 McFarland〕 ==Plot== Secret agents Dick Dagger and Harper Davis are on the trail of former SS Colonel Rudolph Koffman, who is using a meat-packing plant as his secret lair. The wheelchair-bound Koffman's mistress, Ingrid, runs a beauty spa. A massage therapist there, Joy, reveals to Dagger that another employee, Erica, is being held captive in Koffman's secret lair. Erica has been brainwashed and tries to kill Dagger, but does not succeed. After the madman also kidnaps Harper, it is up to Dagger to stage a daring rescue operation. He is captured and tortured, but escapes thanks to a laser beam in his wristwatch. Koffman tries to kill him with a meat cleaver, but Dagger foils the villain and gets the women. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「A Man Called Dagger」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
