Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - The High Commissioner
Rod Taylor is excellent as the Aussie detective sent to London to arrest an Australian political figure (Christopher Plummer) wanted for murder. Intense, intriguing and set in swinging 60s London, the plot moves along at a great pace with unexpected twists and turns.

Malone's boss believes there is now enough evidence against Sir James to pin on him the murder of his first wife which ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Excellent political thriller

Rod Taylor as Scobie Malone
Christopher Plummer as Sir James Quentin
Lilli Palmer as Lady Sheila Quentin
Camilla Sparv as Lisa Pretorius
Daliah Lavi as Maria Cholon
Clive Revill as Joseph

And now on to the movie itself - a political thriller set in London in the 1960s, when tensions between East and West were at a dangerous high. The plot revolves around Sir James Quentin, the ... Read More

I have just acquired this DVD, but have not seen it yet.
How is it that you DO NOT SHOW the cast under 'product details'?
