Crossplot (1969)
4/10
An energetic but lightweight espionage caper
24 January 2019
A British comedy spy adventure; A story about an advertising executive who hires an exotic woman to model for a campaign but she is in grave danger after overhearing details of an assassination plot, and both are forced to go on the run to avoid the killers on their trail and prevent the death of a notable African politician. While it is a markedly pale imitation of films like "North by Northwest" and "The 39 Steps" mainly due to its low budget, with Roger Moore at the helm it is engaging. The film's fast pace saves it a little because the plot is convoluted and the direction and composition is dated.
