TITLE |
Action of the Tiger (1957) |
|
NOTES |
A beautiful
woman, Tracy, hires a boat to go to Albania to free her brother.
(Note: some descriptions of this film say it is her father but
it's definitely her brother). |
|
Before they
sail we get a scenic tour of the Acropolis for no |
|
apparent
reason. And this is supposed to be a serious, |
|
dangerous
mission but Carroll still gets the chance to have a |
|
Sean Connery
is the drunk deckhand who molests Tracy. |
|
Landed in
Albania it takes no time at all to find Tracy's brother. |
|
But he's
blind and appropriately he's found playing the |
|
church
organ. The actor does a passable simulation of |
|
staring
constantly into space and naturally his powers of |
|
enhanced
hearing are displayed. Apparently he had tried to |
|
commit
suicide which left him sightless though we are not told what method
he used. He uses a walking stick for guidance. |
|
They get
into various scrapes as they walk back to their boat |
|
including a
completely absurd bandit chief played by Herbert |
|
The
storytelling, acting and direction are slipshod and the film
|
|
struggles to
fill 90 minutes. |
