<em>'The London Connection'</em> is enjoyable.

It's nothing fancy and is very silly/dorky/clunky/whatever, but I found it to be a pleasant enough near 90 minutes. Not that they are the same, but it's a Disney film that gave me similar vibes to the studio's other flick <em>'<a href="https://letterboxd.com/film/midnight-madness/" rel="nofollow">Midnight Madness</a>'</em>; which was, in fact, released a mere matter of months after this - so that makes sense.

It's a good cast. You have a well executed performance from Jeffrey Byron as lead, while the rest of the onscreen talent - spearheaded by Larry Cedar - are all solid. It's also interesting to see Roy Kinnear and David Battley together as a pairing, given they both appeared (though not next to each other) in <em>'<a href="https://letterboxd.com/film/willy-wonka-the-chocolate-factory/" rel="nofollow">Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory</a>'</em> eight years prior.

Worth a watch, it is. It's paced nicely and has a neat score; even if parts of the latter do feel out of place in parts.
