Midas Run

Miffed at being passed over for knighthood, veteran British intelligence officer John Pedley (Fred Astaire) decided to arrange his own honorarium...by bringing down a $15 million gold shipment being flown out of Zurich over Italy. Recruiting an ousted journalism professor (Richard Crenna) and a beautiful French operative (Anne Heywood) as accomplices, does the old spy have another endgame? Long-sought caper comedy also stars Ralph Richardson, Cesar Romero, Adolfo Celi, Roddy McDowall. 106 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English; audio commentary; theatrical trailer.
