Target: Harry (1969)
I watched Target: Harry because I thought it was a type of James Bond spy movie starring Cesar Romero as the “M” character. While that turned out to be true, Cesar was only in about fifteen minutes the movie. He’s in the first ten minutes, luring unsuspecting audience members like me in. Then, we hang in there for the next hour, hoping in vain to see him again.
The bulk of the movie is extremely cheesy. “I’ll buy that.” “You can’t afford it,” she quips back. It’s all very 1970s tv-movie-ish. Lots of zooms, lots of unrealistic, supposedly clever dialogue, and a huge rip-off of the James Bond theme. Vic Morrow is the too-cool-for-school lead who can’t be bothered to care about anything. Suzanne Pleshette is his love interest who can’t be trusted. Victor Buono is the bad guy. There’s not much else to know, really, but you’ll see some familiar faces as well: Stanley Holloway, Michael Ansara, and Charlotte Rampling as a blonde. I don’t really recommend this one.
DLM Warning: If you suffer from vertigo or dizzy spells, like my mom does, this movie might not be your friend. There's a lot of handheld camera throughout the movie, and that will make you sick. In other words, “Don’t Look, Mom!”
