The Swiss Conspiracy (1976)
After several clients of a Swiss bank have their accounts compromised and are blackmailed, the bank's head (Ray Milland) hires an American (David Janssen, looking very weary) who once worked for the U.S. Treasury but now residing in Switzerland to investigate. Directed by Jack Arnold (CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON). In spite of the handsome Swiss locations (primarily Zurich), this theatrical feature film plays out like a TV movie or an episode of THE MAN FROM UNCLE. When the mystery is finally resolved, it's pretty lame but predictable. Its improbable plot is overly complicated and its public shoot outs and car chases seem out of place in Switzerland. New York or L.A., yes but Switzerland? With Elke Sommer, Senta Berger, John Saxon, John Ireland and Anton Diffring.
