Don Siegel goes to Europe and makes a terrific thriller...or at least a mostly terrific thriller. When British spy Michael Caine finds his son kidnapped, he's charged with coming up with some black market diamonds as ransom. Caine is great, if a bit too somber...even before he's told of the kidnapping! The always interesting John Vernon and Delphine Seyrig are the kinky kidnappers and Donald Pleasence is Caine's anal retentive boss. Janet Suzman is Caine's VERY angry estranged wife.
THE BLACK WINDMILL is taut and suspenseful for most of its run, unfortunately Siegel forgot to include an ending so he simply has Michael Caine explain it.
