Starring: George Segal, Senta Berger, Alec Guinness, Max Von Sydow
Director: Michael Anderson
Pinter's spare screenplay gives George Segal some funny lines, but the fact that Segal doesn't engage in the usual Bondsmanship is welcome relief for audiences bored with one fantastic exploit after another and yearning for a more human look at spying.
It relies on a straight narrative storyline, simple but holding, literate dialog and well-drawn characters.
Top CriticDaft, dated and outright confusing most of the time, but it undeniably fun.
Although the whole thing is ill-served by Michael Anderson's direction, it remains perversely likeable precisely because it is rather long-winded and enigmatic.
Much underrated...One of the best spy thrillers of the 1960s.
A great cast put to poor use in an espionage film so determined to avoid spy movie cliches that it fails to remember what makes them enjoyable in the first place.
