The Peking Medallion

The Peking Medallion, also called The Corrupt Ones, is a 1967 crime film directed by James Hill, starring Elke Sommer, Robert Stack, Nancy Kwan and Werner Peters.

The film's sets were designed by the art directors Hans Jürgen Kiebach and Ernst Schomer.

Stack called it "a derring-do, hidden treasure stinker" which he did for the money and because he admired Hill's wildlife-themed drama Born Free (1966).

In 1967 Tony Mastroianni's review for the Cleveland Press stated the film was "handsomely photographed" and merited recognition for its pace but he also criticized "unnecessarily sadistic torture sequences".
