Programme Information

Jon Amiel's film nods towards Hitchcock's classic with Bill Murray as Wallace Ritchie, the ingenue spy, innocently involved in a plot to assassinate the world leaders. Caught up in the web-like world of espionage, matters are made even more complex by the complete misunderstanding of innocent conversations. Edited for content.
