After some rocky episodes, our Lilli Palmer Acteurist Oeuvre-view uncovers a couple of gems: Nobody Runs Forever\xa0aka The High Commissioner\xa0(1968, directed by Ralph Thomas), a spy thriller bursting at the seams with the charms of Rod Taylor and Christopher Plummer, and\xa0Hard Contract\xa0(1969, the only feature film made by writer-director S. Lee Pogostin), one of the most eccentric movies we've ever seen, a meditation on love, murder, and modern life with Lee Remick and James Coburn as an improbably moving pair of lovers. Lilli Palmer adds her own flavour of eccentricity to\xa0Hard Contract\xa0as Remick's "immorally innocent" friend and makes a big impact as Christopher Plummer's wife in\xa0Nobody Runs Forever.
