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. The Wimbledon Tennis Championships backdrop adds an element of extra interest. Great 60s suspense.

Thumbs down to M-G-M for their careless audio presentation (fortunately I have a home-made DVD ... Read More

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

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

How is it that you DO NOT SHOW the cast under 'product details'?
