Matchless (1966, ITA) C-104m. SCOPE ** D: Alberto Lattuada. Starring Patrick O'Neal, Donald Pleasence, Henry Silva, Ira Fürstenberg, Jacques Herlin, Nicoletta Machiavelli, Howard St. John. Italian James Bond imitation - or spoof - about journalist O'Neal, who is transformed into a special agent, also because he has a magical ring which makes him invisible (Lord of the Rings, anybody?). Wildly plotted, mostly silly adventure. Some funny scenes make it watchable. Pleasence plays the bad guy, one year before becoming a Bond villain in YOU ONLY LIVE TWICE (1967). Score by Ennio Morricone. Edited by Franco Fraticelli.
