James Coburn is a an American diplomat in London, offered a new job in an advisory role for the US president. The problem is he has a shady past, where he was a spy for the American government. Only four people have the details to the skeletons in his closet, so he sets out to have them killed. He comes up with a plot to have the four of them kill each other, without it being traced back to him.
Very subtle, nothing spectacular, but for ninety-minutes of entertainment, this one delivers. You are on the edge of your seat right through, first making sense of the plan, and then watching it unfold, and waiting for it to fall apart and turn on the former-spy, because surely, it has to, you would think! Coburn is excellent, as are the supporting cast. This little gem is forgotten today. I had never even heard of it until I caught it on the Legend channel. I would certainly watch again, and would love to have it in my collection.
