Final Assignment (1980)

A journalist (Genevieve Bujold) on assignment in the Soviet Union gets romantically involved with a Russian government official (Michael York). But when a Soviet scientist (Colleen Dewhurst) gives her a tape of dangerous experiments being conducted in Russia, Bujold finds herself conflicted between her neutrality as a journalist and her moral obligation. Directed by Paul Almond (ISABEL), this French Canadian cold war thriller takes its time in getting started but once it kicks in, it's pretty vivid. The plot is fairly ludicrous and Bujold’s character seems unnecessarily dimwitted at times but overall it works though it remains a minor thriller. With Burgess Meredith and Alexandra Stewart.
