In which a variety of spies, thieves, smugglers, policemen and special agents are after a fortune in diamonds.
"A man could get killed" is a mix of romance, suspense and comedy. While the movie is pretty funny in parts, and while it contains some inspired one-liners, the whole does not entirely convince. This may be caused by the fact that the intrigue is quite convoluted, complete with characters who may (or may not) have a double or even triple agenda. After a while the viewer begins to need written notes in order to follow the plot.
The movie, which is set in sunny Portugal, rather suggests that this country exerts an irresistible attraction to louche miscreants from all over the world. One hopes that the Portugese National Tourist Board did not support the production with a subsidy.
Personally I liked "A man", mainly for Melina Mercouri's blithely irrepressible Aurora. I also enjoyed the fine music. Did you know that "A man" contains the instrumental version of the tune that conquered the charts under the title of "Strangers in the night" ?
