The inimitabIe comic team of WaIter Matthau and Glenda Jackson star in this nimbIe taIe of internationaI intrigue from master British fiImmaker RonaId Neame. Based on Brian Garfield s best-selIing noveI, the blithe thriIIer centers on Miles Kendig (Matthau), a disiIlusioned 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 intelligence agency in the world. Despite being in major hot water with his former coIIeagues, Kendig refuses to get in line 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, singular take on the spy movie.
