Interpol (1967) Director: Yang Shu-hsi Cast: Margaret Tu Chuan, Tang Ching, Shen Yi, Chang Pei-shan Genre: Action Synopsis Yes, it's 1967, when the James Bond craze was at its height.

Since "9" is one of the luckiest numbers in Chinese lore, it's not surprising that, here, Interpol operative "009" is as adept with casinos and cars as he is with girls and guns. His battle with murdering counterfeiters climaxes in an explosive finale. For fans, this film is "from Hong Kong, with love...!"
