IMDb Wikipedia
Suzy Kendall is a German spy who uses her powers of seduction to get vital information during WWI. A British laundryman is her first victim, whose loose lips give her the information needed to sink a ship with a general on board. Later, she works as a maid for a scientist researching nerve gas. She seduces her to gain her trust, then murders her after stealing the formula for the gas. Next, she goes undercover as a Spanish countess, becomes a nurse and "distracts" an officer while vital plans are being stolen. All the while, the British counterintelligence is using a captured German spy to try to stop her. Potentially interesting Eurospy feature marred by exploitation tendencies, including a horrible animal cruelty scene involving experiments with nerve gas. However, there is Suzy Kendall and a soundtrack by Ennio Morricone to distract.
