Humbert". It stars Roger Browne as the titular secret agent opposite Fabienne Dali, Massimo Serato, and Rosalba Neri. Shot mostly in Egypt, the film is heavily inspired by the early James Bond films starring Sean Connery.

Premise

Martin Stevens - a British agent known by his codename "Superseven" - is sent to recover a modified radioactive metal disguised as a camera lens, stolen and sold to an unaware civilian by mistake. The trail leads him to Cairo in pursuit of the camera where he learns that Russian spies are also after the same device in the hopes of putting the western powers at a disadvantage while per business as usual, Stevens comes across several people in the field who are not who they seem to claim.
