Hard Contract (1969)
Hit Man; and Misses
27 January 1999
By 1969, Derek Flint was behind us, but James Coburn was still on top as an action-oriented leading man. Take a script with beautiful foreign locations, make Coburn a naïve-one dimensional hit man, then throw beautiful Lee Remick in as the woman to tame the untamable…and you've got yourself a movie.

For those who love the 60's genre movie, you'll find this one rates. Nice support from Burgess Meredith and Sterling Hayden, but the story tries so hard to be serious that it falls flat. There are much better ones out there.
