Editorial Review:
Amazon.com:
Clint Eastwood plays James Bond in some unlikely mid-1970s casting. Eastwood directed himself as an art teacher (!) who is actually a government operative (!!). But when an American agent is assassinated in Europe, he's called out of retirement to put the hurt on the men who did it. Based on a novel by Trevanian, the film winds up with Eastwood climbing a mountain in Switzerland and playing a game of kill-or-be-killed with one of his targets. Some decent action, but also a lot of filler. Still, the cast includes George Kennedy and the late Jack Cassidy, whose sharklike smile was perfect for playing a professional killer. --Marshall Fine

Also, the scene where the little dog jumped into Eastwood's jeep in the desert was omitted in the original. ... Read More
Rating: - addicted to it
I remembered seeing the film and that I probably liked it.I am 66 and desperate for entertainment.
It has probably never been shown on telvison because it would need too much editing.I love it now, watched it 12 times until my vcr
wore out so I got another copy. i also got another vcr.
Rating:  - Classic and awesome movie!
You can never go wrong with Clint Eastwood! I love this movie, the espionage story and the European scenes. Many people don't know that Clint Eastwood performed his own stunts in this movie since he was a real Mountain climber and assumed all high risk shots for the movie!! Highly recommended and the supporting actors including Keneddy are all aces!
Rating: - good eastwood pic
Good movie if you are an Eastwood fan..Plot is not real clear, but if you like Clint and George Kennedy, it's worth watching
Rating: - 5-star movie, but...
Great movie, one of my favorites. Clint is always enjoyable in these roles.
The DVD has one annoying aspect, however, common to many DVDs produced before the era of HD -- when viewed on an HD player or up-converting DVD unit via Component or HDMI inputs, the movie is presented as letterbox inside of a 4:3 format. On a wide screen HDTV this means that the picture is significantly inset and does not fill the screen. A nit-picky issue, to be sure, but most annoying in the era of big, wide ... Read More
