The Cape Town Affair

A reworking of Samuel Fuller's "Pickup on South Street," this South Africa-set suspenser follows a small-time pickpocket looking for a score on a bus. He gets much more than he expected when the purse he lifts contains secret microfilm and makes him a target for communist spies. James Brolin, Jacqueline Bisset, and Claire Trevor star. 100 min. Standard; Soundtrack: English.
