The Spy with Ten Faces (Template:Lang-it, Template:Lang-de, also known as The Man of a Thousand Masks and Upperseven, the Man to Kill) is a 1966 Italian-West German Eurospy film written and directed by Alberto De Martino.[2][3][4]
Plot
Paul Finney aka Upperseven; played by Paul Hubschmitt, is a master of disguise and is about to stop a diamond smuggling operation. This smuggling business forms the facade for a missile building project. This plot might have inspired the later James Bond 007 film Diamonds Are Forever (film), as Ian Flemmings original book with the same title only contains the diamond smuggling side and not Blofelds rocket based plans where he needs the diamonds for.
