Roger Browne is competent enough here in this pretty shameless hybrid of all things "007" with a bit of "Man from U.N.C.L.E." thrown in for good measure. The suave agent "Super 7" is tasked with tracking down a newly discovered metal that is being smuggled inside of a pocket camera that cannot be allowed to fall into the wrong hands! His investigations take him to the magical city of Cairo where he encounters dangers a-plenty and has no idea who he can trust. It's all pretty procedural, this, with a few gadgets and gizmos to liven it up as it moves along, quickly, to a conclusion that has it's tongue firmly in it's cheek. There's not much jeopardy and a bit too much script/score but it's still just about watchable if you accept it's production values and budget do not compare with it's more illustrious contemporaries in the genre.
