It is all style and little else.

Gannett News Service
The Assassination Bureau is a mild, amiable entertainment, arousing at most a mild literary curiosity.

Rating: 3/5 --
Amusing, but with those stars it ought to be better than it is.
Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)
None too witty black comedy.

Time Out
Entire cast play their respective roles broadly and each gives a good account of himself.

A cinematic curio, but also a delightful souvenir of the 60s.

Product Description:
Basil Rearden's little-seen crime caper THE ASSASSINATION BUREAU is a tongue-in-cheek action-comedy about a society of assassins operating in early-1900s England. Post-AVENGERS Diana Rigg stars as the prim and proper Miss Winter, an aspiring reporter who stumbles upon the covert organization and sets out to expose the group with the help of aristocratic newspaper publisher Lord Bostwick (Telly Savalas, sporting a faux British accent). After meeting with bureau leader Ivan Dragomiloff (Oliver Reed), Winter challenges the assassin to a game of cat and mouse that sweeps across pre-WWI Europe from the brothels of Paris to the palaces of Venice--unaware that Bostwick has some shady motivations of his own.
