Judoka-Secret Agent (French: Le Judoka, Agent secret, Italian: Carnet per un morto) is a 1966 French-Italian Eurospy film written and directed by Pierre Zimmer. It is based on the short story Le Judoka dans le ville by Ernie Clark.[1] It had a sequel in 1967, Casse-tête chinois pour le judoka, with a different cast except for Marilù Tolo returning in a different role.[1]
On her last day of filming actress Patricia Viterbo accidentally backed her sports car into the Seine during a scene and drowned as she was unable to swim.[2] Her accompanying costar Henri Garcin escaped, but there are conflicting versions of whether he was at the wheel while they were returning from lunch.[3]
