Having grown up watching 'The Saint' and The Persuaders as well as his Bond films, I had become accustomed to Roger Moore's rather bland, smooth on-screen personality. Even in films such as 'North Sea Hijack' and 'The Man who haunted Himself' he rarely showed any real emotion. But here he gets angry - properly angry - as he comes up against Rod Steiger's investigating officer who seems from the outset to have something against him and would be quite happy to pin the crimes on him. Elliot Gould does his usual schtick of being a bit wooden but quite appealing, much the same as he played the reporter in 'Capricorn One'. Very entertaining throughout, but I wasn't too impressed with the ending, which almost seemed to appear out of nowhere.
