Running Blind (1979)
taut thriller

It is now 2005 and I have clear memories of viewing this film on the BBC when it was originally broadcast. By definition that means it must have some special quality. Running Blind is a taut thriller,with a strong cast, and beautifully shot in Iceland (the scenery is as much a character as the main participants). A spy who thinks he has retired is asked to do a simple delivery job - but there is no such thing as a simple job in the world of espionage. A little dated perhaps - but as an example of cold-war double dealing and the treachery which is the life of a spook, it is highly recommended. I'd like to put in a plea for its release on video/DVD too.
