Effectively a rehash of The Day of the Jackal.
Simon Templar comes across a hysterical woman in a Paris hotel room that has experienced a strange nightmare. Her husband the new Italian ambassador to Britain will be assassinated.
The Saint thinks that a hitman called Gunther (Joss Ackland) has been hired for the job. When Templar meets the ambassador's wife again, she is someone different.
The woman in the hotel room in Paris was an actress.
It is all an elaborate ploy and the real target is the Saint.
The story is silly but it has a humdinger of an ending. It really is a case of, for whom the bells toll!
Some good location filming of London. Ackland is both creepy and campy as the assassin.
