Review of The Assassination Bureau (1969) by Stewart S — 07 Nov 2007
It's a shame that this gem of a film is not better known. Oliver Reed and Diana Rigg excel in this witty, farcical comedy on a gentlemanly society of killers in 'Proud Tower' Europe, but are matched by wonderfully shameless performances from a gaggle of premier 'caricature-actors'.
The colour and verve of the 1960s (with not a little nod to the espionage-stylings of the time) infuse the film's zeppelins, mutton-chop whiskers and Ruritanian pageantry with an infectious and appropriately irreverent lustre.
