Second viewing; first viewed on an indeterminate date before 1987.
A British intelligence agent investigates a case of gold smuggling and discovers a much creepier plot.
To be frank, this is a film for kids, or, to use present (and preciser) terminology, adolescents. That does not stop it from being brilliant from start to finish. The funniest thing about it is, as one person observed in IMDB's discussion board, that its hero is feckless throughout most of it (except in the operation in the prologue, which constitutes, in my opinion, undue interference in a foreign nation's affairs). A thorough plot summary and some interesting analysis may be found in Christopher Mulrooney's notes.
Rating: 75 (unchanged)
