Harvard economics professor James Coburn is about to be appointed to a presidential board. Industrialist and political power Keenan Wynn warns the ex-spy that there should be no skeletons coming out of his closet, like the four operatives he had working as spies for him in Europe. So Coburn works out an elaborate plan in which they all wind up killing each other.
It's the sort of thriller that you watch, waiting for something to go wrong. It's all pitched at such an icy, manipulative level, that you wind p hoping something will go wrong, but none of the people involved really seem worth saving. Only Lee Grant, a news reporter and occasional lover of Coburn, who knows nothing about any of these shenanigans, seems decent, and she is on screen a total of maybe five minutes.
It's co-written by Jonathan Lynn.
