Scorpio (film)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Scorpio is a 1973 spy film directed by Michael Winner. It is about a Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) agent, agent Cross (Burt Lancaster) who is suspected of treason. As to have him eliminated, the CIA sends Jean Laurier (Alain Delon) alias "Scorpio", a French assassin, to kill him. Amazingly, a scene of the espionage thriller was filmed at the Watergate Hotel during the day of the break-in that brought about the cover-up which eventually brought down the Nixon presidency.
