    Entertaining Thriller
    Richard Todd plays a surgeon called on to operate on President Lom whilst trying to keep a grip on his domestic affairs.His wife being played by Euro vision hostess Katie Boyle who shows why she retired from acting.The writers making it more exciting by avoiding the obvious so that Lom is only guarded by one detective,giving open season for the assassins.
