Moore, Mason, Perkins. Add Michael Caine and this would be the ultimate 70s "international thriller."

Poster makes that look way more amazing than it probably is.

Forgot about that movie.

Absolutely otm, but it's a dece enough thriller. The linked US poster sets the tone better, at the expense of Moore's anti-Bondian asexuality.

They toned things down for the sequel, presumably to make it more accessible.
