Apatros Review Ep-0064: Agents Do Not Know Tears [1978] (The Uranium Conspiracy)

AR-0064: A typically flat example of the janky B-grade espionage thrillers that were a dime-a-dozen during the 1970s, this low-grade part-Italian production has an Italian mercenary getting hired by the spooks over at Mossad to help them intercept a shipment of yellowcake uranium [in case you don't know, that is a loose-fill type of uranium ore used in chemical fertilizers, paint and other legitimate industrial uses... But can also be enriched to provide fuel for nukes] that is being shipped to what could potentially be a hostile enemy power.

Completely unexceptional in just about every way, this film also shows the ugly consequences of mounting an espionage mission without grounding it in ethics, as the mission here becomes something of a mess despite being ultimately successful.

The film is known in international release as "The Uranium Conspiracy" but it's original title translated into English is "Agents Do Not Know Tears".

My Grade: D+ [Disappointing]
