The High Commissioner (1968)



Cinerama Releasing
Directed by Ralph Thomas
My rating: 2 stars out of 4
IMDb
(DVD, MGM)

Australian outback cop Rod Taylor is sent to London to arrest a high ranking politician for murder. Instead, he ends up getting involved in a plot to kill him and in fact saves his life on several occasions, including a tennis match at Wimbledon. The old murder turns out to involve his wife, who decides to take matters into her own hands. A rather talky political thriller with macho Rod downing beer, and women, at every opportunity.
