OK but unexceptional spy fare

"Code Name: Jaguar" is a lot like its lead: it gets the job done, but doesn't stand out in the crowd. Ray Danton is athletic enough to play a superspy, but he doesn't have the flair of some of his competitors in the field. Roger Hanin is much better here as a sidekick to Jaguar than as agent Tiger in his two Chabrol-directed spy flicks. Pascale Petit (Code Name: Kitten!) and Helga Sommerfeld are gorgeous; their (verbal) antagonism for Jaguar's affections is very funny; Petit's character seems to be trained in judo, but she barely gets to use it - a damn shame! None of the other characters stand out particularly, and the same goes for the action sequences, which are, however, adequate. And that's probably the right word for this entire film: adequate. ** out of 4.
