The Tamarind Seed (1974)
Country: GB
Technical: col/scope 125m
Director: Blake Edwards
Cast: Julie Andrews, Omar Sharif, Sylvia Syms, Anthony Quayle
Synopsis:
A British woman on holiday in the Caribbean falls in love with a Russian agent.
Review:
Espionage melodrama, and a thinly disguised vehicle for the wider career of wife Julie Andrews; its title sequence, with its silhouettes and tinted explosions, soon leads to disillusionment, however, with a slow scenario whose main focus would seem to be who sleeps with whom. There remains a bland, time-passing entertainment value to be found in the general professionalism, Anthony Quayle's performance and John Barry's Bond-like score.
