• Call Harry Crown

Everyone is dying to meet Harry Crown.
An amusing and thrilling send-up of the American gangster movie with Richard Harris as a professional killer/troubleshooter who is hired by gangster Edmond O'Brien to help him in his fight against rival mobster Bradford Dillman, a man anxious to take control of the city and become king of the underworld. The result is a unique movie that blends the James Bond type of thriller with the Matt Helm kind of film and emerges with a cynical and pleasing style all its own. Packed with thrilling car chases and a series of bizarre killings, it co-stars Ann Turkel as Harris' girl friend with a metal claw for a hand! The direction is by John Frankenheimer, the music by Henry Mancini.
