North West Frontier (1959)

In British India, a young prince must be taken to safety across rebel-held territory, and an old train is the only way to do it.

Imperialist gung-ho entertains as a Western-style train adventure with some good settings.

Halliwell**: "Thoroughly enjoyable Boys Own Paper adventure with excellent set-pieces and a sot-the-villain mystery."

Maltin***: "Fast-paced actioner..."

 

Our Man in Marrakesh (1966)

One of six travellers who catch the bus from Casablanca airport to Marrakesh is carrying $2 million to pay a local operator to fix United Nations votes, but which one?

Lame and outdated (and not so funny) espionage spoof, which only has the exotic locations to its merit.

Halliwell (no star): "Thin comedy-thriller with exotic locations."

Maltin**1/2: "...OK spoof; good location shooting."
