Der Teufel Kam Aus Akasawa (1971)

Teufel Kam Aus Akasawa, Der (1971, GER/SPA) C-84m. ** D: Jess Franco. Starring Fred Williams, Susann Korda (=Soledad Miranda), Horst Tappert, Ewa Strömberg, Walter Rilla, Paul Müller, Howard Vernon, Jess Franco. Trivial adventure about a mineralogist who goes missing after he has discovered a sort-of radioactive mineral that can turn metal into gold. Several agents are out to investigate. Thriller is trashy but not bad, a nice showcase for stunning Miranda, whose last film this was (she died in a road accident at the age of 27). Allegedly based on a novel by Edgar Wallace. Director Franco, who has a bigger role than usual, also coscripted. English title: THE DEVIL CAME FROM AKASAWA.
