The High Commissioner

SYNOPSIS

For this film based on Jon Cleary's novel The High Commissioner, Rank assembled a motley array of B-list actors, plus stars Rod Taylor and Christopher Plummer, and director Ralph Thomas simply stood back and watched them fight it out among themselves. The thrills are in distinctly short supply as an Australian cop is sent to London to arrest a dastardly diplomat for murder and, despite the valiant efforts of Taylor and Plummer, the result is the equivalent of celluloid Mogadon.
