Avalanche Express (1979)
Country: EIRE/US
Technical: col/scope 88m
Director: Mark Robson
Cast: Robert Shaw, Lee Marvin, Linda Evans, Maximilian Schell
Synopsis:
A Soviet agent defects and boards a mittel-European train with his American handler. Together they plan to expose the KGB agents active in Europe, but somebody plans to set off an avalanche and stop their scheme in its tracks.
Review:
One of those late seventies international spy dramas that sort of interbred with the disaster or thriller genres. The stars were often too old, the plotting contrived and the special effects leant heavily on the model work. This one is not too bad but Shaw, in his last film, does not look well.
