This experimental film concerns a young man who refuses to give back to society after taking so much. The camera visits a slaughterhouse for pigs and films a mother dialing a telephone in the family home. Music is provided by Speedy Kean and Pete Townshend. Prior to its screening at the 1970 New York Film Festival, this very unimportant 58-minute project had the second half of its title (Scorpio Rising) become the subject of a legal protest by Kenneth Anger, who claimed (correctly) that he already had rights to it, based on his 1964 documentary with that name. ~ Dan Pavlides, All Movie Guide

Gerald Arthur Otley (Tom Courtenay) is a British secret agent called in to investigate the murder of a suspected influence pedlar and document smuggler. He trails double agents and double martinis at a posh cocktail party before discovering the villains have the cooperation of top government officials in Parliament. Otley is pegged to masquerade as a possible defector to oust the criminal mastermind who plans to sell some stolen documents vital to national security to any enemy agent with the most money. Murder, blackmail and auto chases dominate the action as the femme fatale Imogen (Romy Schneider) first has Otley beaten up by her thugs before combining forces to go after the real villains in this confusing and sometimes funny spy yarn. ~ Dan Pavlides, All Movie Guide
