    HORSE RACE IN ITALY IS A BACKGROUND TO MURDER

    I only found this because Richard Harrison was in it. He only has a small part and gets killed at the end. Good horse racing action takes up most of the movie with complex murder plot behind the scenes. Plenty of international stars and lots of action save the film.
