The film summarized:
Three MI6 agents plot the downfall of the obstinate main character, who spoils their plans twice and must face the final trial set by the men and strive to maintain his dignity
A well conceived, written, and directed British film, a Cannes favorite, but not favored in Britain as the main character was depicted as an American, but lacking the brashness, crudity, and greed expected of an American by British audiences. (the w@nkers!)
