The Wickedest Woman In The World!

Two years before THE GIRL FROM RIO, Shirley Eaton (GOLDFINGER) also starred as Sumuru, a beautiful but deadly woman with plans for world domination. When a couple of wise-cracking, swingin’ secret agents uncover her scheme to eliminate male leaders and replace them with sexy undercover female operatives, they rush to Hong Kong and enlist the local police to stop her all-female army of assassins known as THE MILLION EYES OF SUMURU.

Frankie Avalon (BACK TO THE BEACH), George Nader (BEYOND ATLANTIS), Wilfrid Hyde-White (CHAMBER OF HORRORS), Maria Rohm (99 WOMEN), and Klaus Kinski (VENOM) co-star in this action-packed spy spoof from producer Harry Alan Towers (HOWLING IV) and director Lindsay Shonteff (NO. 1 OF THE SECRET SERVICE).
