SCORPIO (BLU-RAY)

“Michael Winner’s most accomplished film. It is never out of control…a tough, exciting, cloak-and-dagger adventure…the plot exudes a fortuitous whiff of Watergate with something more than mere panache.” - Margaret Hinxman, Sunday Telegraph

“A labyrinthine network of international double agents and double crosses…Unlike most action-and-violence movies, Scorpio is best when the characters are merely talking.” - Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

“Diverting Cold War-era espionage thriller…cat-and-mouse intrigue…smart and tense.” - Peter Hanson, Every ’70s Movie

Three legendary actors - Burt Lancaster, Paul Scofield, and Alain Delon - star in director Michael Winner’s Scorpio (1973), an action-packed tale of espionage, friendship, and betrayal. Lancaster is a CIA agent marked for death by his own boss, with the added wrinkles that the assassin on his trail is a young former protege (Delon) and the one man who offers him help is his Soviet opposite number (Scofield). Featuring a superb score by Jerry Fielding, available on this Twilight Time release as an isolated track.
