Lucky, the Inscrutable (Italian: Agente speciale L.K.: Operazione Re Mida, Spanish: Lucky, el intrépido, German: Lucky M. füllt alle Särge) is a 1967 Spanish-Italian-German spy film directed by Jesús Franco and starring Ray Danton.[1] It marked the first collaboration between Franco and the Italian composer Bruno Nicolai, who worked together many times in the following years. Franco said he and Nicolai were neighbors, which made working together convenient.[2] (Franco played not one, but three, small cameo roles in this film.)
This film was Franco's first Spanish-Italian-German co-production, and was also his first film for German producer Artur Brauner. It was also Italian actress Rosalba Neri's first Franco film.[2] Patty Shepard, very young in this film, went on to become a famous cult star of Spanish horror cinema several years later. The film was not shown theatrically in the USA.
