The inimitable comic team of Walter Matthau and Glenda Jackson star in this nimble tale of international intrigue from master British fiImmaker RonaId Neame. Based on Brian Garfield s best-selling noveI, the blithe thriIler centers on Miles Kendig (Matthau), a disillusioned retired CIA agent who, with the help of a chic and savvy Viennese widow (Jackson), threatens to pubIish 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 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.
