Death on the Run is a 1967 Italian Eurospy film directed by Sergio Corbucci. Filmed in Athens, it was referred as a film directed with "whip-along style and dubious sense of humour" A man named Jason (Ty Hardin) is a thief being taken back to Greece to do some jail time. However, he escapes and is forced to steal a tooth out of a dead man’s mouth to get a piece of microfilm. This leads to him being chased by everyone, including Michael Rennie (Klaatu from The Day the Eath Stood Still), Gordon Mitchell (Frankenstein’s Castle of Freaks), the cops and two gangs. His only help? His best friend Pizza (Vittorio Caprioli) and a dancer named Greta (Paola Pitagora). You can do worse than to spend 90 minutes or so with a Sergio Corbucci-directed Eurospy film, even if this one’s a bit more serious than most of the fare that I enjoy.
