As this movie has never been released in any form, this has to be a review-by-distant-memory. A reluctant assassin (Ian Hendry from Get Carter) is hired to shoot a politician (Frank Windsor). Along the way he has a one-night stand with a young woman (Verna Harvey). It's not long, it's fairly cinematic and it hasn't been seen in public for near-on 40 years, which is a pity. Despite an explicit shooting at one point, I recall its mood being sombre (rather than Bourne-style action) but it's oddly affecting and I hope someday that it's rediscovered for a decent release. At which point I'll find if my long-distance memory was up to the job of reviewing it...

Horribly over-directed by Peter Crane, with an abundance of arty camera angles. The slight story can't sustain the running-time although Ian Hendry is excellent in the lead role.

I have the Blu-ray The Pemini Organisation box of Indicator and I had never before seen of any of the three, Hunted (1972), Assassin (1973) and Moments (1974). Watching the second one starring Ian Hendry who made a few movies but was really best known on TV but I alway liked him. Apparently he became of a bit of a drinker especially during this film. Ray Brooks was really good in the 60s especially with The Knack...and How to Get it (1965) but rather faded away. Verna Harvey was rather sweet and topless and had done a couple of films with Michael Winner in the 70s also Dixon of Dock Green (BBC TV 1955-76). Frank Windsor also did several films but again was most known on TV, especially with Z Cars (BBC TV 1962-76). As for this film there is really not too much I can say. The direction is rather arty and the story a bit clever but really not too good although everyone does their best.
