Programmer's Pick
Interpol’s international scope and hard-boiled vengeance plot give Victor Mature plenty to scowl about as he chases heroin smugglers from Rome’s back alleys to New York’s docks. Anita Ekberg’s turn as the mistress-with-secrets adds a dash of sultry tension to this British noir, while John Gilling orchestrates mayhem with a cosmopolitan flair.
