The stars are outshone by the supporting players, including Tom Courtenay as a psychotic British agent and Per Oscarsson as his junkie Russian counterpart, hopelessly in love with the heroin. Fortunately, they give Aspic some flavor as it moves toward a credibly tragic end, when Harvey suspects the game is up and utters the burnt-out lament: "I feel like a whore in a creaking...

To convince newsmen of their error, he asked her straight out before witnesses in his office: "Who do you love?" Courtenay Valenti, 2½, planted both feet firmly and bellowed on cue: "I love Prez...

He insisted that Courtenay had been misquoted by a reporter who wrote that she had gazed fondly over the presidential shoulder at Airman Patrick Nugent, Luci's fiancé, and declared instead: "I love Pat."
