The Prize is a deft mix of action, suspense and humor.
It stars Paul Newman as a Nobel prize winning novelist who travels to Stockholm to accept his award. Soon after his arrival, he starts to suspect that there is more going on than meets the eye. He gets caught up in a dangerous web of intrigue, and at times the film is very Hitchcock-esque. Paul Newman oozes charisma in the lead role and Edward G Robinson plays a good dual role. There are good location shots of Stockholm and good use of light-hearted moments to contrast with the suspense. Highly recommended!
