Review of A Man Could Get Killed

I like James Garner, but honestly, how he must have squirmed during the making of this movie. An inane plot involving smuggled diamonds, spy vs spy skulduggery and total lack of chemistry between a supposed romance between James Garner and Melina Mercouri. Not only that, the supporting cast of Sandra Dee and Anthony Franciosa makes you wonder just who's playing the lead roles. And the bumbling villains are so incompetent and nonthreatening that they're more of a distraction than anything else. I suspect the studio wanted to reprise the excellent thriller "Charade" made 3 years earlier, but in that they failed dismally. The only thing going for this movie is that the theme song "Strangers in the Night" became such a big hit.
