TRAILER - TELEFON (1977)



Taut Don Siegel thriller about a mad KGB officer using brainwashed Russian operatives to commit acts of sabotage in the US. If the story seems familiar that's because the Zucker, Abrahams and Zucker team borrowed it for The Naked Gun!

Made toward the end of Siegel's career, TELEFON isn't as action heavy as some of his other vehicles, but its interesting storyline provides a fair amount of thrills.

"The woods are lovely, dark, and deep, but I have promises to keep. And miles to go before I sleep, and miles to go before I sleep. Remember. Miles to go before I sleep."
