Review of The Kremlin Letter (1970) by Walter M — 12 Mar 2012
You need to have your thinking cap on for this offering from master director John Huston ,which seems to have been overlooked in the directors canon but deserves to be better known ,now it s finally out on DVD.
The plot has something to do with a letter which implicates America in an Anti Russian plot and the problems this letter is causing.
What follows is cross and double cross,mysterious agents,with very odd codenames and loads of talking in very cold rooms.
Thats not to say the film is boring ,far from it, Huston has a excellent cast who all give top grade performances including George Sanders Richard Boone and Nigel Green as part of the same spy network and Orson Welles and Max Von Sydow as rival Russian spies.
The film would make interesting viewing alongside The Quiller Memorandum and the Ipcress File as its one of those films which one is grateful that someone decided to give it a DVD release.
