Brass Target (1978)
Director: John Hough
Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
Mining the profitable vein of Day of the Jackal, this tale of conspiracy and assassination has General Patton murdered by subordinates involved in a vast gold heist. The movie goes for several targets - historical significance, murky intrigue, Bond-style techno-glamour - but misses them all. Loren, as the woman with a past, drifts in and out of a defiantly labyrinthine plot which reaches rock bottom with the revelation that Patton's adjutant's mistress' ex-husband was (maybe) a Nazi cabinet minister. Pretty thin.Author: CA
