"Doublecross on Costa's Island" is a perfect example how to save money on a movie. Director, writer, producer and star Franco Columbo took the footage from his film "Taken Alive", made 3 years earlier, added some new scenes with him and actor William Smith and cut it together.
William Smith is fantastic as always but if you have seen "Taken Alive" then don't waste your time because more than 2/3 of the film is used from the same footage. Even for the ending Columbo used the same as from "Taken Alive".
