The Monk
1969, English. Directed by George McCowan.
An independent guy like Gus Monk is always attractive. He attracts women, money, excitement...and danger.
Underworld attorney Leo Barnes hires Gus Monk to safeguard a valuable envelope containing information on a mobster. Monk refuses — until he meets Mrs. Barnes and jumps on a merry-go-round of viciousness and murder.
