The ethics of assassination might make for a fascinating movie subject. But don’t look for that in The Assassination Bureau (1969), a farce concerning an organization which takes on assassinations of deserving characters for a fee, until a reporter meets with the chairman and buys an assassination of … the chairman.
Calculated chaos ensues, with the vice chairman machinating to assassinate the crowned heads of Europe.
Oh, it could have been fun, and there was a small amount of cleverness – but not enough to take one’s mind away from the general pointlessness of the story. Pure fluff.
