Come Spy with Me movie storyline. U.S. Intelligence assigns Jill Parsons to investigate the mysterious deaths of two secret agents in the Caribbean. The agency fears that the deaths may indicate danger to a meeting of foreign ministers scheduled to be held aboard an aircraft carrier in the area. Jill infiltrates a local skin-diving competition to be held off a charter boat belonging to young Pete Barker.
Meanwhile, the activities of the skin-divers are being carefully observed by enemy agent Walter Ludeker, who has been laying highly explosive equipment across the ocean beds. In an attempt to learn if a U. S. agent is among the divers, he persuades his nephew Larry to enter the competition. Though another woman, Samantha, is wrongly suspected and kidnapped, Ludeker later realizes that it is Jill he wants, and he abducts her also.
Come Spy with Me is a 1967 American spy film produced by Arnold Kaiser, directed by Marshall Stone, and released by 20th Century Fox. The stars are Troy Donahue, Andrea Dromm, Albert Dekker, Mart Hulswit, Dan Ferrone, Louis Edmonds, Kate Aldrich, Pam Colbert, Gil Pratley, Georges Shoucair, Alston Bair, Tim Moxon, Lucienne Bridou, Peter Finch and Jack Lewis.
The film was the first produced under a 13-film co-production treaty between Allied Artists and five television stations owned by ABC. It was the first movie made by Troy Donahue following the end of his contract with Warner Bros. It was originally called Red on Red.
Hot off her success for her performance in The Russians Are Coming, the Russians Are Coming Andrea Dromm was recruited by the American Broadcasting Company to host a television special about the surfing craze called Hit the Surf and to play a female secret agent in the lead role of ABC Films first production. She knew the director Marshall Stone from their work together in National Airlines and Clairol “Summer Girl” television commercials.
Dromm had to learn motorcycle riding and scuba diving for the film, but her underwater shots were doubled. Dromm was nervous about scuba diving and what she felt were unsafe conditions; she said that Troy Donahue got into some trouble underwater due to problems with his diving regulator. Dromm never made another film. The film was overshadowed by 20th Century Fox’s other 1967 female spy films; Fathom with Raquel Welch and Caprice with Doris Day.
