Review

A star rating of 2 out of 5.

Adrian Turner

This lame spy thriller about missing secret files has a sometimes clever and witty script by the ace TV team of Dick Clement and Ian La Frenais. However, it's rather let down by Clement's uncertain direction. Another problem is that, as a Bucharest waiter who is actually a spy, Kirk Douglas's peculiar intensity isn't best suited to a comedy. Trevor Howard and Tom Courtenay seem more at home with the spy spoof material. A movie buff joke has that gaunt, towering actor Sacha Pitoeff playing the game with matchsticks that he made famous in Last Year at Marienbad.
