Written by Georges Garvarentz
Performed by The Roland Shaw Orchestra directed by Roland Shaw
Christopher Plummer seems to having more fun here than in 'The Sound of Music', and the gun with a curved barrel for shooting round corners suggests someone's tongue was initially in their cheek. But Young's direction is lazily dependent on pans and zooms, it all goes on for far too long, and becomes increasingly plot-heavy as it grinds it's way towards the two-hour mark.
