Sean Connery triumphs over offbeat casting as an Arab politician who is the target of a glamorous assassin, played by attractive newcomer Cornelia Sharpe. Connery's authoritative performance dominates the film. Although the plot is rather confusing, director Richard C Sarafian stages much of it, especially the scenes at the United Nations, with considerable impact and conviction. Connery and Italian actor Adolfo Celi, old adversaries from Thunderball a decade earlier, clash again here.
