What happens

Requiem for a Secret Agent (also known as Requiem per un agente segreto) is an Italian international co-production Eurospy film. It was co-produced with Spain (where it was released as Consigna: Tánger 67) and West Germany (where it was released as Der Chef schickt seinen besten Mann). The film was directed by Sergio Sollima. It was Sollima's third and last Eurospy film and the first he directed under his real name (in the two previous spy films he was credited as Simon Sterling). It was shot in Morocco.
