Last Plane From Baalbeck - 1964 - Italy

Last Plane From Baalbeck - 1964 - 6/10
AKA - F.B.I. Operazione Baalbeck

 
Energetic Italian Noir set in Beirut.
Interpol sends in a fresh agent to Lebanon to thwart gun runners.
Earlier agents had been liquidated.
On the plane, on the tarmac, in the terminal, everyone looks suspicious.
Fresh killings begin.
The narrative moves so fast that one doesn’t have time to think, or even sort cops from villains.
Beirut locations would have been exotic, especially when this city was considered the Paris of the Mideast.
