Agent
For H.A.R.M.
aka The Invisible Agent Dimension lV Gerd Oswald Mark Richman, Wendell Corey, Carl Esmond, Barbara Bouchet Martin Kosleck, Rafael Campos Another would-be, but over-the-top, James Bond-type film with girls and gadgets, not the least of which is the ability to become invisible. A scientist working with spores found on a meteorite is kidnapped by the Russians and a super-agent is sent to rescue him. The spores are particularly nasty things which turn human flesh into a kind of fungus and it is this which eventually accounts for the poor scientist. The agent succeeds in thwarting Russian plans to infect American crops with the spores. |
