Agent 505: Death Trap in Beirut/Agent 505 - Todesfalle Beirut/From Beirut with Love is a 1966 German/French/Italian international co-production Eurospy film shot in Lebanon. It was produced and directed by Manfred R. Köhler.[2] The film stars Frederick Stafford in his second film and Renate Ewert in her final feature film.

Plot[edit]

Interpol Agent 505 Richard Blake battles a mysterious criminal known as "the Sheik" who plans to eliminate the population of Beirut by dropping radioactive mercury on the city under the guise of cloud seeding.

Cast[edit]

Soundtrack[edit]

The film was scored by Ennio Morricone. The film's score is divided into three different music styles; the film's intro sequence is heavy on brass instruments, while the remainder of the film is scored using both swing music and a combination of a guitar cue and flutes.[3]

Analysis[edit]

The film was cited by author Derrick Bang as an example of a genre of spy movies derived from James Bond.[3]
