GUNN

title: GUNN
year: 1967
cast: Craig Stevens, Laura Devon, Sherry Jackson, Ed Asner
rating: ***

Maligned for not being faithful, or equalling in quality, the black and white TV series created by Blake Edwards and William Peter Blatty about secret agent Peter Gunn, but this is an entertaining film that takes the spy genre to a laidback, late sixties aura (with bright vivid colors) and is never boring. Craig Stevens reprises the title role but for his age, being practically attacked by gorgeous babes like Sherry Jackson and Laura Devon seems a bit forced: but he's got that glib James Bond cool the lady's love. There are a few nice twists and always the next thing (discussed in previous scenes) for Gunn to survive, and the audience to anticipate.
