Featured review
A complex and somewhat slow Euro-spy movie with a great British cast.
Results when British Intelligence Agent John Shay (George Peppard) suspects Adam Booth (Keith Michell), a colleague, of being a double-agent. So the British spy must prove that his former colleague is a double agent. Although Shay's superiors (Nigel Patrick, Charles Gray) warn him against an investigation, he travels to Istambul (Turkey), Athens (Greece) and Corfu (Greece) in order to check out his suspicions. There, Shay becomes involved with the beautiful Sarah (Dame Joan Collins), who was once his lover, and is now Booth's wife. Soon after, Shay realizes that he is being used as a Communist pawn, and has fallen into grave danger. Every day he lives, somebody else dies!

He was a notorious secondary actor and occassionally director as cinema as TV, such as: Catlow, Sinbad and the Eye of the Tiger, The legend of Custer ,The File of the Golden Goose, The killing of Randy Webster, The Champions, Cimarron , Custer Hawk, Columbo . Rating: 5.5/10. Average but acceptable.
