The Kremlin Letter (1970 John Huston & co-scr)

Incomprehensible spy thriller, well acted by an interesting cast. Patrick O'Neal (The Secret Life of an American Wife, Castle Keep) , the craggy faced Richard Boone, Bibi Andersson, Max von Sydow, Orson Welles, George Sanders, Nigel Green, Dean Jagger (Executive Suite, Bad Day at Black Rock), Barbara Parkins, Lila Kedrova, Micheal MacLiammoir, John Huston.

Photographed by Ted Scaife. Russia is played by Finland.

I thought I'd ordered an Odessa File but this turned up instead. Not sure why we needed George Sanders in drag.

Includes memorably silly exchange:
"Kiss my foot."
"Your shoe's on."
"Kiss my shoe."
