Bullet To Beijing and Midnight in Saint Petersburg were Harry Palmer films that were made back to back.
Both were rather awful and really did not have the feel of the 1960s Harry Palmer films.
Harry Palmer (Michael Caine) has set up a private investigation agency in Russia with Nick Petrov (Jason Connery) and the ex CIA Agent Craig.
They have been hired to locate some missing plutonium. Nick is detoured to find his missing girlfriend who has been abducted. Her father is a curator in a museum with valuable artwork. Somehow both stories merge.
Once again, rival gangsters from Bullet To Beijing involved. There are double crosses and an easy to spot mole.
Thankfully a character at the end of this movie explains the plot. Art for cash. Then cash for plutonium.
There are nice location shots of Saint Petersburg. Apart from that it looks rather cheap, the script is bad and it did not remind of anything from the pen of Len Deighton.
