Waiting list for hell (original title: Anónima de asesinos ) is a 1965 action, crime and agent film by Juan de Orduña with an international cast and a Whodunit structure.
action
A CIA agent is murdered by strangers in Rome while he is about to expose a mole in his own ranks that is delivering information to the enemy. The CIA then sends Nick Collins and, at his suggestion, Jerry Land to arrest the traitor and secure an important microfilm with secret construction plans for a newly developed ion engine. In Rome, Madrid and Beirut, where Jerry temporarily falls into the hands of the gangster organization, which does not shy away from any brutality and meanness, the country is being plagued by all kinds of villains. Your opponent is a cunning and shrewd boss of a ring for factory espionage, whose people hunt down this valuable microfilm that they think they can find on Jerry. After Nick is eliminated, Land has to fight off the gangster all by himself, but that doesn't prevent him from playing with the attractive black-haired Solange Dubonet between all the beating orgies and shootings. With the help of the Lebanese police, the country can finally take the criminal organization up. It turns out that Jerry's partner Nick is the traitor and the real man behind it.
Production notes
Waiting list for hell is a classic product of the Eurospy film wave of the 60s, which tried to attach itself to the success of the first James Bond films. The crime thriller with action and agent film elements was shot in Lebanon as well as in Rome, Madrid and New York. The first demonstrable performance took place in Italy on May 12, 1966. The German premiere was on February 28, 1967. From April 24, 1967, the film could also be seen in the third country of production, Spain. The German opening credits name actress Kai Fischer twice: First in the normal list of actors and at the end of the opening credits again as "Guest Kay Fischer", obviously a mistake.
Reviews
