Title from container.
Based on an idea from the book "The Assassination bureau limited" by Jack London and Robert Fish.
Originally released as a motion picture in 1968.
Oliver Reed, Diana Rigg, Telly Savalas, Philippe Noiret, Warren Mitchell.
A spirited caper inspired by a book co-written by Jack London. Reed plays Ivan, the self-confident chief of an association of hitmen for hire, who will refuse no well-paid offer; especially the lucrative challenge of an aspiring reporter. Reasoning that a running cat-and-mouse duel with his henchmen will rid the organization of incompetents, Ivan agrees to become the object of a nonstop hunt. The game is afoot, and Europe is the playground.
DVD, widescreen, full frame 16x9, aspect ratio, 1.85:1.; Dolby Digital.
Contents: The assassination bureau limited.

COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Funny! submitted by ssands on July 16, 2014, 4:08pm Good stuff -- action and humor. It seems to be shelved under "Action" and the Subject list includes "Assassins -- Drama", but to me humor is the most prominent aspect of the movie. Some is subtle, but there's quite of bit of slapstick.
