      doctor gets caught up in intrigue

      When british doctor fenton is kidnapped and taken to a mysterious sick patient, it turns out to be a big shot politician. And then the bodies start piling up. And he doesn't want to be one of them! What is going on, and who is behind it? Can fenton tip off the coppers in time, or will they all get knocked off, like the other witnesses? It's okay. Not a lot of suspense... he sure gets involved in the chase, for a doctor! And as usual, the cops don't believe him. Whatevs. Stars guy rolfe, anton diffring. Was probably more suspense-ful when things were simpler. Directed by john guillermin. His big films were towering inferno and the 1978 death on the nile. Based on the story by francis durbridge.
