The Cape Town Affair (1967)
Director: Robert D Webb
Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
Horrendously unworthy remake of Fuller's classic Pickup on South Street, with the action switched to South Africa. Brolin takes over Richard Widmark's role as the pickpocket stealing a girl's handbag, only to discover in it microfilm which leads them both into espionage and murder.Author: GA
