THE EMERALD OF ARTATAMA is a Spanish adventure/thriller/heist movie from prolific producer Sidney Pink, a guy who seemed to rule the Spanish box office in the late 1960s. This one features a very aged Rory Calhoun (clearly too old for his role) as an intrepid explorer who assembles a team to go to Egypt in search of a priceless emerald. Inevitably with a heist flick the thieves end up falling out which leads to a handful of action sequences. It's quite low rent, this one, with stock plot ingredients and some glamorous femmes to enliven it a bit; the best thing about it is the exotic Egyptian location photography.
