Revisiting films last Seen in childhood or adolescence can become a very painful experience. It so happened to me when viewing "Assassination Bureau." My memory told me that this was a lovely film with a great cast, most importantly for me, Diana Ring, since I grew up with "The Avengers." Alas, the story was not so bad, but the execution suffered from the permeant use of rear projection when ever there was a continental Europe setting. Unfortunately the film consists mostly of central Europe settings and often very badly investigated sets. The scenes supposed to be in a Viennese Inn looked more like a place on the Rhine than anything near the Danube. The actors tried their best but the special effects department ruined most of the fun like the zeppelin ride at the end. Money seemed to have been spent mostly for the actors and little was left for other things.
