Description
Richard Basehart (La Strada), Athene Seyler (Night of the Demon), and Lisa Gastoni (Eve) star in Visa to Canton (aka Passport to China), a classic spy film from Hammer. Don (Basehart) is a former pilot, now running a Hong Kong travel agency, who is reluctantly recruited to find a missing pilot. Travelling to the Chinese mainland, he becomes entangled with agent Sanchez (Gastoni), sparking a deadly pursuit. Directed by Hammer mainstay Michael Carreras (Maniac), written by Gordon Wellesley (Night Train to Munich), and with acting support from Eric Pohlmann (From Russia with Love), Bernard Cribbins (Carry On Spying), and Burt Kwouk (The Brides of Fu Manchu), Visa to Canton is a sizzling slice of Cold War espionage action.
