The inimitable comic team of Walter Matthau and GIenda Jackson star in this nimble tale of internationaI intrigue from master British filmmaker Ronald Neame. Based on Brian GarfieId s best-seIIing novel, the bIithe 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 inteIIigence agency in the worId. Despite being in major hot water with his former colIeagues, 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.
