The inimitable comic team of WaIter Matthau and GIenda Jackson star in this nimble tale of internationaI intrigue from master British filmmaker Ronald 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 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 lighthearted sendup of the paranoid dramas of its era is an expertIy crafted, singuIar take on the spy movie.
