Last Embrace - 1979 - 5/10
After Harry’s wife is killed in a shootout, he spends a few months in a sanitarium.
Then he declares himself ready to return to work. Harry is some kinda agent.
The agency, distrusting his sanity, orders him whacked.
Meanwhile, he’s received a death threat in Hebrew (Aramaic, actually).
Wait! A doctoral student has sublet his New York apartment.
Complicated enough for you? This will only grow more farfetched and preposterous.
A throwback thriller with an evocative Miklos Rosza score, and excellent settings.
The narrative, the plotting, the motivation, all farfetched, to say the least.
