Re: Brit General Cinema Quiz.

I know this one - The Magnificent Two, The Intelligence Men and That Riviera Touch!

OK, which universally panned Michael Caine film from the '70s is based on a book by Arthur Herzog?

Well done for getting the M and W films. I think you are referring to The Swarm, a truly poor film.

Name the 70s film in which Stanley Baker played a secret agent and his boss was Donald Pleasence. Sue Lloyd was also in it. As a bonus, who played the much younger agent Baker had a fight with early in the film.

With the great Donald in it you would think so. But tex espionage flicks are my least favorites.

No, not that one. Baker worked for an organisation called Department K in the one I mean and was made in the early 70s. There is a connection with Callan in the area of writing.

I believe she played Mrs Wilberforce.

Which two actors starred as the leads in The Man who would be King? As a bonus, who wrote the literary source for the film? He was a very famous Victorian author.
