Review

  • Warning: Spoilers
    This adaptation of Robert Ludlum's novel has an awful lot of plot going on but, when the movie is over, you're not going to remember it (other than that it is essentially a whodunnit).

    But there are a number of things which you will remember:

    1. You'll remember Brenda Venus encouraging Clint to carry on running:

    2. You'll remember Clint and George Kennedy reaching the top of the butte;

    3. You'll remember the Eiger as seen from the railway line and hotel at its foot; and

    4. You'll remember that, in those long ago days before CGI meant that you couldn't believe what you saw on screen, that it actually was Clint hanging at the end of a rope above a drop of hundreds and hundreds of feet.

    An exciting film with much to enjoy.
