Cast

Reception

The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "Drug traffic, gambling, murder mystery, unscrupulous femme fatale, and a couple of songs, here brought together against a colourful Mediterranean background. But the mixture fails to coalesce, and the naiveté of the script is only emphasised by some distinctly substandard acting. Still, there are several underwater sequences for those who like to watch them."[3]

Songs

  • "Who's Foolish", music and lyrics by Joan Shakespeare, sung by Anita Harris
  • "Francesca", music and lyrics by Joan Shakespeare, sung by Dennis Lotis (as Denis Lotis)
