4/10
When in doubt, fight

Warning: Spoilers
That seems to be the moto of "Man On The Spying Trapeze". The plot (which begins with the discovery of a body in the Coliseum) makes less sense with each passing minute, but the fights keep a-coming. Some of them are good, but neither those nor Piero Umiliani's dynamic score can save the incomprehensible mishmash of a plot. I got the fact that everybody is looking for a microfilm, as well as the person who's behind it all, but that's about it. Wade Preston makes for a pretty smarmy spy lead until the final moments when he shows unexpected class, while the female roles are all underwritten. "Man On The Spying Trapeze" is strictly for Eurospy completists. *1/2 out of 4.
