"Hammerhead" is a real stinker. In the era of superspies this one doesn't fare well. To begin with the producers cast a rather dull expressionless Vince Edwards in the lead role of Charles Hood. Edwards had made his name playing Dr. Ben Casey on TV. The co-starred him with a rather loopy Judy Geeson as a 60s type hippie with a high pitched (and annoying) voice. Wait for the night club sequence where she suddenly bursts into a Shirley Bassey type song.
The "plot" has agent Hood trying to contact an international crook known as Hammerhead (Peter Vaughn) who is suspected of trying to steal NATO defense secrets. As a cover, Hood is bringing pornographic materials to Hammerhead for sale. You see Hammerhead collects such things. We are treated to his collection of semi-pornographic art from world famed artists. (Best part of the picture).
Anyway, Hood meets Hammerhead aboard his yacht. Interesting enough Hammerhead has hooked up with, you guessed it, Sweet Sue. Go figure. How would a worldly man such as Hammerhead hook up with such an airhead in the first place. Hammerhead goes ashore to arrange the theft of the aforementioned NATO secrets through a switching of identities between a Sir Richard and an impressionist named Andrews (both played by Michael Bates).
Hood of course, pursues Hammerhead. In a nightclub he sees Andrews and we meet the charming Kit (Diana Dors) who it turns out is another of Hammerhead's "ladies". It's here that we see Sue suddenly emerge as a musical songstress with a deep voice. The documents are stolen and Hammerhead flees but......................................................................
Others in the cast are Beverly Adams as Ivory who tries to seduce Hood aboard the yacht and Patrick Cargill as Condor, Hood's superior. The opening sequence has to be seen to be believed. The finale is equally over the top.
Dreadful movie.
