Sharp Kisses for Mike Forster is a 1965 British action and agent film with an international cast.
action
US reporter Mike Forster is, although neither alert nor smart or even overly attractive, quite a hallodri with high wear and tear on women. In any case, he primarily has the lovely femininity in his head and finally in his arms as well, rather than taking care of a hot story. His professional life, determined by turtling with women, takes an abrupt turn one day when he has to turn away from kissing and turn to the East-West conflict. At the Vienna airport he is just waiting for his plane to take him to Budapest, behind the Iron Curtain. A stranger named Ferenc approaches him and starts a conversation with Mike. Soon the stranger gets to the point. In communist Hungary, he says, his sister lives, whose allegedly terminally ill child absolutely needs a serum that cannot be obtained in Hungary. Ferenc therefore asks Mike to take a package that supposedly contains the healing medicine to hand over to the nurse on site. Ferenc himself could not take on this job, because as an exile in his old home he was in danger. Before the American can change his mind, the ominous stranger has disappeared again. Armed with her name and a telephone number on a piece of paper, Foster flies to the Hungarian capital.
As soon as he arrived in Budapest, the first thing Mike Forster lost was the note with the address. Since Foster assumes, however, that the drug required is a matter of life and death, the political naive comes up with the crazy idea of launching an appeal on the Hungarian state radio. A little later, a woman named Ilona Kovács contacts him and visits Mike in his hotel. The first conversation is strange, and Mike suspects that the whole story is lazy. He wonders what is really in the package he has taken with him and opens it. The journalist was amazed when he found two American passports issued to Ilona and her father Dr. Paul Kovác, a renowned nuclear physicist who wants to move to the West. Soon the other side begins to get wind of the action, and Mike Forster gets caught between all chairs. With the perky compatriot Suzan, however, he gets a pretty lady at his side, who gives him support and helps Mike out of a dangerous situation many times. Soon, instead of sharp kisses, Foster only fears sharp shots ... In the end, the supposedly helpful Ferenc turns out to be the wrong man, because he works as a communist agent and only had it on Dr. Kovács' scientific documents apart. To do this, he wanted to lure him and his daughter from the east here and abuse them for his own purposes.

Reviews
Paimann's film lists summed up: “Except for the last complex, which was not always convincingly successful, the plot has developed consistently; with fewer fights, but all the more women’s stories than in other similar films. Acceptable presentation ... credibly posed milieu. "
"Naive agent film with an all too poor story."
The Movie & Video Guide wrote: "Tiring crook story".
