The Chairman

Anyone who was around in 1969 at the movies will enjoy this film with it's big budget scenes of Hong Kong harbor, the styles of clothes and cars, and the sense of uncertainty we all experienced with the cold war. As for the story, it is more character driven than action, and that's where fans of Peck and thriller novels will enjoy the journey. Comparing this film to others and saying it is poor is rather silly, because this film requires some thought below the visual, of which, sadly, most movie goers are too impatient to invest the time. But I did and in 1969 I was there too.
