Walter Spada, an Italian detective, finds himself in deadly danger, when he agrees to help a wealthy banker find his missing daughter. But can Walter find the girl, without losing his life? Can he trust the seductive stripper Brigitte? Does the glamorous minx harbour a sordid secret? Walter Spada is a man on a mission... A man who is Fearless..He is the Magnum Cop!

Joan with Annarita Grapputo & Maurizio Merli

Originally set to star Martin Balsam and Sybil Danning, this co-production between Italy and Austria features Joan a seductive stripper with a grubby little sideline in grooming schoolgirls for a prostitution ring! Even with this over dramatic, if not seedy plot, the film manages to include moments of comedy which may seem out of place in a gritty thriller. Joan appears in the latter part of the film and more than makes up for her absence in the first forty minutes..

As her role is that of a night club stripper, she does do a more daring strip routine than we witnessed in the 1960 crime caper "Seven Thieves"! Joan looks sensational in the film and certainly gives the film a boost of international style and glamour. Like most Italian films, this release has been available under many titles including, 'Magnum Cop' (USA), 'Fearless Fuzz' (Europe), 'Fearless'(USA DVD), Die Zuhalterin (Germany). 

Press Brochure

The film has been released many times over the years, firstly on video under it's 'Fearless Fuzz' title, sometimes 'Fearless', 'Fatal Charm' 'Magnum Cop' and a similar story on dvd, many using the video masters.. I did manage to get a special edition Italian release under it's original title which includes the English soundtrack, however this release is not available at present.. Below are a selection of sleeves for previous releases, as you can see some have little to do with the actual film!
