    muddle
    British assassin Jonas Wilde receives a kill mission from his superior Tony Canning for an East Bloc scientist being held by the Americans. The plot is convoluted. This is not 007 and it's a real muddle. Richard Johnson is no Sean Connery. He's not charismatic. It's definitely a downer but that's actually fine by me. If this wants to be a more serious espionage thriller, then get rid of the Bond girl in a bath tub. I watched this on TCM and there is a big problem with the panning. All in all, this is grim but not in a good way. It's grim in the boring sense. It actually starts with an interesting scene but it's downhill from that point on.
