The most remarkable as-
pect of "The Delta Fac-
tor," which is based on a
novel by Mickey Spillane,
is the fact that it is rela-
li.vely free of the violence
and wholesale carriage that
usually characterizes his
work.
The film (at the Baronet)
is a routine espionage
thriller set in, a mythical
Caribbean republic where
$40 million in stolen Amer!-
call currency has been.
stashed by a ring of crimi-
nals.
Christopher George plays
an adventurer and escape
artist who is imprisoned
for the heist. While pro-
claiming his innocence, he
escapes from jail, is recap-
tired and is offered a
chance to get a reduction
in his sentence if he does a
1s=ftla favor for the CIA.--- ,
"THE OCLTA, FACTOR," nro-
ducec'', written and directed by Tay
Garret; based on a novel by
Mickey, Spillane. With Christopher
Geor~?e, Yvette Mimieux, Diane
hfc6ain, Ralph Taugor, Yvonne De
Carlo,' Gherri Spillane. Qualified
General Audience; (GP), At the
Baronet.
It seems that all impor-
tant scientist is being held
as a political prisoner on
the island.of Nueva Cadiz.
Since the fortress is consid-
ered impregnable, the CIA
decides to utilize George's
great technique to break
into the prison and bring
out their mail.
George, knowing that the
money is also on the is-
land, accepts the commis-
sion since it offers him an
opportunity to recover it
and thereby c l e a r his
Marne.

Yvette Mirnieux, a . CIA
agent, is persuaded to mar-
ry George to provide him
with a cover story and to
keep an eye on hint. I: os-
ing as honeymooners, they
arrive to find they are
caught in a bind, between
corrupt politicians and po-
lice and ruthless thieves.
The rest of the thriller is
predictable and pedestrian.
But George is a much more I
likable and attractive hero
than Spililane's old standby\
Mike Ifanlmner.
Miss Minlieux, Diane
