Death Is a Woman (also known as Sex Is a Woman, CIA an Malta: Diese Frau ist gefährlich, Love Is a Woman) is a 1966 British mystery film directed by Frederic Goode and starring Mark Burns, Shaun Curry, William Dexter, Wanda Ventham, Terence De Marney and Patsy Ann Noble.[1] Location filming took place in Malta.[2]
British undercover agent Dennis Parbury is sent to an island in the Mediterranean to identify how a heroin-smuggling operation is distributing their product.
The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "Drug traffic, gambling, murder mystery, unscrupulous femme fatale, and a couple of songs, here brought together against a colourful Mediterranean background. But the mixture fails to coalesce, and the naiveté of the script is only emphasised by some distinctly substandard acting. Still, there are several underwater sequences for those who like to watch them."[3]
