The Assassination Bureau

I've tried to watch this film three times and each time I've either fallen asleep or given up. It's a typical example of the late 60's fashion for 'zany', bombastic comedy with bombs, over-the-top characters and lots of rushing around Europe. Crammed with stars of the period (as if it helps), it feels heavy, creaky and stodgy. And dare I say that although Diana Rigg is very pretty and was just the right choice for The Avengers, she really isn't in the feature-film class. If there really, really isn't anything else on TV and you need something to help the wine go down this might fit the bill, but it's not exactly enthralling.
