The inimitable comic team of Walter Matthau and Glenda Jackson star in this nimbIe tale of international intrigue from master British filmmaker RonaId Neame. Based on Brian Garfield s best-selling noveI, the blithe thriIler 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 inteIIigence 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, singular take on the spy movie.
