Negative Positive
Title: Excellent Sleeper
Review: THis is a little known gem that has it all, great acting, great plot, great location setting and never a dull moment. Bradford Dillman is well cast as the chilly manipulator who tries to orchestrate a gold mine disaster in the hope that the ensuing stock market confusion will translate into riches for him and his offshore based investor cronies. John Gielgund's short stint is competent as ever. I am not a fan of Roger Moore's usual over acting but he delivers a credible performance here and then of course there is Susannah York, lovely to watch as ever - the attraction between the two also works well. All of this together with Peter Hunt's excellent direction, translate into a great and very entertaining action thriller. Although not platinum material, it is more than solid gold. People familiar with SA will recognize the Kyalami Ranch Hotel near the race track in one of the scenes.
