Crossplot (1969)
6/10
It all started so well
19 February 2023
I take it's made after the Saint finished and a while before he got the big job as James Bond. This would then have been a good test for the letter past. Well it's got Bernard Lee in it, Ursula Howells as Maggie, a very Moneypenny type character and even an awful theme tune by John Rowles (which on second listening sounds like the theme to the Italian Job (Matt Monro). Surprisingly the first half of the film is very good, mainly because of the chemistry between Roger Moore and lead actress Claudie Lange as Marla Kogash. Things go great until the final half an hour where it gets too much like British TV shows of the time.

Missed opportunity.
