Director Doris Wishman had a dream, and after the death of her husband in 1958, she decided to pursue a career in filmmaking, focusing on sexploitation entertainment, hoping to reach an audience with lusty tales of revenge and love. 1974’s “Double Agent 73” is part of her colorful oeuvre, reuniting with “Deadly Weapons” star Chesty Morgan for another tale of danger and desire, this time endeavoring to offer audiences a slight spin on the superspy subgenre, positioning the unmissable star as a 007-type trying to bring down bad guys using many forms of self-defense and assassination attempts that involve a large bosom. Wishman’s a bit more ambitious with “Double Agent 73,” trying to expand on earlier experimentation with action and suspense, and she lands some decent scenes of low-budget fury. The helmer doesn’t provide a sustained level of excitement, but the effort has some memorable moments and genuine craziness to make it an entertaining sit.
A 2K restoration from the original 35mm camera negative, "Double Agent 73" delivers decent detail during the AVC encoded image (1.85:1 aspect ratio) presentation. Facial particulars are satisfactory, along with skin surfaces. Rooms are open for inspection, with textured decoration, and costuming is fibrous. Color is lively, with bright primaries and period hues on clothing. Greenery is distinct. Skintones are natural. Delineation is satisfactory. Grain is heavy but film-like. Some wear and tear is detected along the way, including rough reel changes, and technical limitations are present, dealing with focus and camera issues.
The 2.0 DTS-HD MA tracks offers decent emphasis with dialogue exchanges, hitting a few shrill high along the way. Scoring cues favor a jazzier, funkier mood, and instrumentation is acceptable. Sound effects are appreciable.
"Double Agent 73" isn't consistently engaging, losing some snap in the final act, though the conclusion strives to build to a big moment. Wishman delivers what she can with the project, and there's some creative success her, developing the helmer's interest in action, and sharpening her focus on Morgan's distinct presence.
