Catch Me a Spy (1971)

£0.00


Country: GB/FR/US
Technical: col 94m
Director: Dick Clement
Cast: Kirk Douglas, Trevor Howard, Tom Courtenay, Marlène Jobert

Synopsis:

A honeymooning couple are separated in Romania, when the husband, actually a Russian spy, is taken in for questioning. Fortunately the girl's uncle is a niece of a Foreign Office diplomat, and they attempt to set up an unsuspecting Romanian smuggler of Russian microfilm as an exchange.

Review:

How Douglas got mixed up in this Anglo-French Europudding spy caper is anybody's guess, almost as unlikely as his character's embroilment in the plot. The results, in an adaptation by Clement and La Frenais that shows little sign of their flair for comedy, are without especial interest; a face-filled cast and Scottish locations offer some diversion.
