What happens
The Kremlin Letter is a 1970 American spy thriller film directed by John Huston, adapted by Huston and Gladys Hill from the 1966 novel by Noel Behn. It stars Patrick O'Neal, Richard Boone, Bibi Andersson, Nigel Green, Dean Jagger, Lila Kedrova, George Sanders, Max von Sydow, and Orson Welles. The film is a highly complex and amoral tale of bitter intrigue and espionage set in the winter of 1969–1970 at the height of the US–Soviet Cold War. The film was released in February 1970 by 20th Century-Fox. It was a commercial failure and thinly reviewed in 1970, but the film has gathered steady praise from some critics throughout the decades since its release. French filmmaker Jean-Pierre Melville called The Kremlin Letter "masterly" and "...saw it as establishing the standard for cinema." (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
