A very obscure adventure thriller with Robert Stack and Elke Sommer (zero chemistry) trying to keep a medalion with the key to an ancient buried Chinese treasure from various bad guys. It's looney and mostly silly but develops a bit of momentum and will likely keep you engaged. As usual, Stack is awful but the rest of the cast manages to keep this one on track. I gather it's set in Hong Kong. Elke and Nancy Kwann keep the steamy quotient high. Bond-light. Also known as The Corrupt Ones
5.9/10 mostly for sheer exuberance.
The Peking Medalion (1967) Directed by James Hill
