CGiii Comment

They don't make them like this anymore - thank God.

This has the most annoying sound effects of any movie and the Quincy Jones score is tuneless and grating.

The acting - pitiful.

There's a gay cohort (and a neighbour) - both present a pathetic portrayal of gay men.

A hideous film and one that Connery ought to forget - like so many of his other movies.

Dreadful.
