Assignment To Kill (1968)
Synopsis: International
intrigue abounds in this tale of an insurance investigator on the trail of a
dodgy European bigwig whose ships have a habit of going belly-up. The hero is
played by Patrick O'Neal, while his prey is none other than a busking John
Gielgud, whose lilting tones add a touch of class to the proceedings.
Peter Van Eyck and Herbert Lom play heavies, Eric Portman is a corrupt
civil servant, while Oscar Homolka pops up as an apoplectic Swiss policeman. No
one bothered with it at the cinema; on TV it's a fair
time-waster.
Cast: Patrick O'Neal, Herbert Lom, John Gielgud,
Joan Hackett. Runtime: 97 min
