🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The film constructs its tension from the quiet bureaucratic battle over human fates, relying on the superb chemistry between Niven and Topol. It explores the absurdity of drawing lines on a map that determine lives, all wrapped in a veil of civilized comedy.
What lingers after the final frame is the chilling realization of how easily humanity becomes paperwork. — MovieFinder Editorial
Director: J. Lee Thompson

With a dry sherry, absorbed in the nuanced performances and post-war melancholy.
