Target Frankie

About This Movie

So 'Target Frankie' from 1967 is a real curiosity in the action-adventure genre. The film features Frankie Bargher, who essentially steps into his brother's shoes—quite literally—to face down two factions of nefarious agents. The pacing? It's a bit uneven, but that gives it a certain charm, you know? The practical effects, while not groundbreaking, add a gritty realism that enhances the tension. Performances are serviceable, but the real draw is the way it plays with themes of identity and deception. You won’t find a lot of info on the director, which adds to its mystique. It's one of those obscure gems that stick with you, even if it’s not perfect.

This film has seen limited releases over the years, making it somewhat scarce in certain formats. It's mostly available in vintage VHS, but collectors are beginning to seek out quality prints. Interest in 'Target Frankie' fluctuates, but its blend of action and espionage keeps it on the radar for those who appreciate niche films from the late '60s.
