What Callan Is About

David Callan, a secret service man who had retired, is called back in: he is to kill a German businessman. But Callan will not cooperate until he learns why the man has been marked for death, and asking that question sets him against both his target and his own service. The film comes from the television series of the same name and shows espionage not as exciting adventure but as a wearing job in the civil service, with the man giving the order and the man carrying it out sitting in the same building. Edward Woodward and Eric Porter appear in Don Sharp’s hundred and six minute British film, completed in 1974.
