The man who wouldn't Die

Society columnist and former thriller writer Thomas Grace (Roger Moore) based his most successful book, "The Man Who Wouldn't Die", on the notorious killer Bernard Drake , now supposedly dead following a prison fire. But an artist (Nancy Allen) approaches Grace after she has psychic visions and claims that Drake is alive and carrying out murders featured in the plot of Grace's book.

Roger Moore stars in this lively and offbeat thriller which is a sort of an ode to mystery/pulp fiction. Moore is a joy to watch, smooth as ever and sharp. He's 67 here and doesn't look it. He always makes a film watchable. Pity he didn't make more mystery films around this period, or do a TV series. He is well supported by Nancy Allen, a psychic who warns Moore about the murders about to occur from his arch nemesis Malcolm McDowell, who relishes in his fiendish role and is deliciously hammy.
