To Catch a King (1984 TV Movie) User Reviews

An Excellent Thriller!

[John1986 · 7/10 · 27 June 2010]

A good film, with a lot of great actors (Robert Wagner, Teri Garr and Barbara Perkins.) The film has a good story, and the music is nice (by Nick Bicât). It's a film about a conspiracy to kidnap the Duke Of Windsor, in the year 1940. But a Nightclub singer (Teri Garr) discovers the plot, and with Joe Jackson (Robert Wagner) she tries to protect the Duke against the S.S. and Nazi-Germany.

The film has a nice story, which is based on the book "To Catch A King" by Harry "Jack Higgins" Patterson. The only thing i don't like is the ending.

Thanks for reading my review.

Well worth viewing!

Don't let the low overall ratings dissuade you, this is a fun view. I must have missed this in the 1980s, so for me it was a real find. First, it's a decent little WWII espionage film, though by no means a spy movie. Still, a lot of fun, and loosely historical. Most fun, if you're a fan, Teri Garr, Robert Wagner, who should need no introduction, and Barbara Parkins (The Kremlin Letter), and a real treat, Nicholas Courtney.
