The Eurospy film isn't just the domain of

The Eurospy film isn't just the domain of the Broccolis and the Italian, Mexican and American filmmakers that attempted to make their own OSS 117, Matt Helm, Santo and Kommisar X movies to take on Bond. At times, even those of a more artistic mind got involved. Also known as Marie-Chantal contre le docteur Kha* and based on a series of novels by Jacques Chazot, this film was written and directed by Claude Chabrol, who wrote for Cahiers du cinéma before making his own films as an originator of the French New Wave. "The Balzac of Cinema," he was suited to making mystery films that were often indebted to Hitchcock. His heroine is French It girl Marie-Chantal, who is played by a real-life French It girl Marie Laforêt. She was a singer who brought the folk music of America to France, including her version of "Blowin' in the Wind" that had a B-side of "House of the Rising Sun," along with versions of songs by Peter Paul and Mary; The Rolling Stones; Simon and Garfunkel and Marianna Faithful. Her best-known song was 1977's "Il a neigé sur Yesterday," which was a song about the breakup of The Beatles. As she travels by train to spend the winter with her cousin, Marie-Chantal is given a jewel in the shape of a tiger with ruby eyes that contains a virus that can destroy mankind. Now, spies from every nation are dispatched to get the jewels from her by any means necessary. If you're coming to this hoping for some of high art from Chabrol, you will be disappointed. If you'd like to see a great Eurospy, though, it has its rewards. *Even the title is a playful joke, echoing the French title of Dr. No, James Bond 007 contre Dr. No.

A Spoof of Spy Movie by Claude Chabrol

While traveling to Switzerland with her cousin Hubert de Ronsac (François Moro-Giafferi) by train, the gorgeous French Marie-Chantal (Marie Laforêt) meets Bruno Kerrien (Roger Hanin) in the restaurant wagon. He gives a blue panther jewel with ruby eyes to her to keep in her guard since he is under watch. When Bruno is murdered in Switzerland, he asks her to give the jewel to a man in Marrocco before dying. She travels with Hubert to Marocco and soon she learns that several secret agents and terrorists chasing her to retrieve the Blue Panther. She befriends a man named Paco Castillo (Francisco Rabal) that protects her and discloses that he works to Prof. Lambaré (Akim Tamiroff), who wants to destroy a powerful virus hidden in the ruby eyes. But his opponent Dr. Kha wants to use the virus to rule the world. But Marie-Chantal does not know who is trustworthy."Marie Chantal contre Dr. Kha", a.k.a. "Blue Panther" (1965), is a spoof of spy movie by Claude Chabrol. The silly plot is flawed and full of holes, and is hard to believe that Chabrol directed this film. There are so many foolish scenes that is difficult to list them. Bruno gives cigarettes to Marie-Chantal in the restaurant to deliver the blue panther to her; then he walks with her alone until her cabin. Marie-Chantal does not shoot Dr, Khan saying that she could not shoot, but she does not deliver the pistol to Paco. When she saves him, he throws the pistol away despite being followed by the bad guys. My vote is five.Title (Brazil): "A Espiã de Olhos de Ouro Contra Dr. K" ("The Spy of Golden Eyes Against Dr. K")
