The Mackintosh Man, 26 January 2000
Author: Janos Smal (jsmal@osi.hu) from Budapest, Hungary

A British secret agent is sent to prison to track down a dangerous spy through an escaping prisoner.

Elaborately plotted, often confusing, but also good-looking and entertaining Cold War mystifier with briskly running sequences and neat performances all round.
