Strategy of Terror


Strategy of Terror is a 1969 American mystery film directed by Jack Smight, re-edited from a two-part 1965 Kraft Suspense Theatre episode, "In Darkness, Waiting".

Premise

A reporter uncovers a plan to assassinate four United Nations representatives by a right-wing extremist, but no one will believe her, until one New York City cop must teams up with her to uncover the conspiracy.

Cast

A review by Hal Erickson at AllMovie.com notes that "Frederick O'Neal, a leading light of African American theatre, is superb as a loquacious African UN delegate", and that "Neil Hamilton, onetime silent screen star and future Commissioner Gordon on TV's Batman, is surprisingly sinister as a pompous right-wing fanatic".
