Interpol Calling - The Complete Series

Product Information

All 39 episodes of this excellent ITC series from 1959/60, the sound and picture quality are both fine in my book and the stories are thoroughly entertaining. To combat the growing menace of the international criminal, the police forces of the world have opened up their own national boundaries. Duval is in a Northern Kashmir mountain hotel at the request of the US Treasury to interview Clyde, a financier whose companies have gone bust in America and Europe. Duval investigates raids on Foreign Legion arms trucks in North Africa and sold to the local rebels.

It is a race against time to recover the missing ten boxes of vaccine, that the Delhi doctor is now adminstering to her patients. Duval puts his life on the line when he retraces the exact movements of the courier and discovers the courier had met a Paris vice madam whose boyfriend is a notorious Istanbul killer needing to get to Paris to kill a witness in a vice trial.

But it's surely "impossible" for Cliff to be the killer, since he is a thousand miles away in the race. The episodes are: 'The Thirteen Innocents', 'The Money Game', 'The Sleeping Giant', 'The Two-Headed Monster', 'The Long Weekend', 'You Can't Die Twice', 'Diamond S. He soon dfisappears with all his worldly wealth, leaving behind a recording of his payment to the crooks, fronted by Anna, the secretary at Camp Konig.

South African policeman Coetzee, back in his office with Duval, thinks Bekker is beyond their reach.

Porton turns out to be a crook named Wilson, ex army medical corps, sacked from there as a black marketeer. I was surprised by the high production values, the crisp storylines (all told in 25 minutes), and the chance to spot some actors before they became more famous.The Spanish police are at least able to make it impossible for him to change his Israeli currency, forcing Baker to stay in Spain and send Diane to Paris. A courier takes the opium and Duvals follows him all the way to a pigeon loft, "where does the poison go? Interpol race against time to find the identities of those responsible for a bomb found in Scotland. As an example, consider the first episode (and first on the Network DVD release), ‘The Angola Brights’.

Duval makes it impossible for Baker to exchange the stolen money and devises a plan to force him out of Spain. The Instanbul train now arriving in Paris train is found to be carrying a corpse, NATO courier Georges Collard. It's a highly synthetic plot with unsympathetic characters in a story that can't decide if it's a war drama, a romance, or the usual crime story.This release contains all 39 half-hour episodes, originally screened in 1959: The Angola Brights / The Thirteen Innocents / The Money Game / The Sleeping Giant / The Two-Headed Monster / The Long Weekend / You Can’t Die Twice / Diamond S. Duval knows it's the work of Eddie Keflik (John Crawford), but he's hard to track down, the press seems to be moving round Europe. Duval is Perry Mason Mark 2, making mincemeat of the incompetent doctor's evidence, it seems the old doc is prejudiced against Belgians. So to there Duval flies, to be greeted by airport staff officers Reg Coutts (Howard Marion Crawford) and Bill Grant (Bill Nagy), the latter we recognise without his disguise as the suspicious chap. But we all know that Jane had discovered the platinum and needed to be silenced, even if her death may possibly have been an accident.
