Dir: Mark Robson
1979
**
An unfortunate last film for great director Mark Robson and indeed actor Robert Shaw. I like a good cold war drama, and Avalanche Express had all the right ingredients, they just weren't necessarily added in the correct order. It gets a little bit confusing somewhere in the middle just after the climax of the film (that happens about an hour too early). I think I enjoyed the parts I did for all the wrong reasons but then this was one of those films that came just as audiences where bored of this style of film and were looking at a different genre and a different way of film making. It's not quite a last of the greats but it does represent a sad end to a much loved type of film.
