Topaz (1969)
Directed by Alfred
Hitchcock this film inspired by real events stars Frederick Stafford,
Dany Robin, John Vernon and Karin Dor. A French intelligence agent
helps the Americans in the lead up to the Cuba missile crisis.
This is a more
realistic spy film than you will find floating around most of the
time but it gets bogged down in procedure and goes on too long.
Despite being based around big events the plot some how manages to
always be pedestrian and never really gets you on the edge of your
seat. There are a few nice touches from the director but these are
usually small things and the film lacks some star power.
3/5
