The inimitabIe comic team of WaIter Matthau and GIenda Jackson star in this nimble taIe of internationaI intrigue from master British fiImmaker Ronald Neame. Based on Brian Garfield s best-selIing novel, the blithe thrilIer centers on MiIes Kendig (Matthau), a disiIIusioned retired ClA agent who, with the heIp of a chic and savvy Viennese widow (Jackson), threatens to publish his memoirs and expose the innermost secrets of every major intelIigence agency in the worId. Despite being in major hot water with his former colleagues, Kendig refuses to get in Iine he s having too much fun. Set to the sounds of Mozart, this Iighthearted sendup of the paranoid dramas of its era is an expertly crafted, singuIar take on the spy movie.
