Unfortunately, the other characters are not in the same league. Roger Lipson as Red Ryder is just not up to the demands of his role. Right from the start, when he sits at the counter reading Playboy, perusing the centerfold as if it were The New York Times, sucking his upper lip noisily and smoking a cigarette as if it were the first one he had ever seen in his life, he generally fails to establish himself as a convincing character. Director Leslie Rose obviously has no idea what a real redneck is like, and neither does Lipson. Throughout...
Earle and Semyonov get together weekly with only their interpreters present. They alternate between the local Soviet diplomatic mission and U.S. SALT headquarters, a nondescript modern office building originally built to house Playboy Financier Bernie Cornfeld's Investors Overseas Services before his empire collapsed in 1970.

After establishing early in his adulthood a reputation as a playboy with a roving eye, the King was married briefly at 19 to a distant cousin. Following a divorce in 1957, he wed an English girl named Toni Gardiner and rechristened her Princess Muna el Hussein (Desire of Hussein). The King's desire waned in 1972, after he met beauteous Alia Toukan, 23, the U.S.-educated daughter...
