The Prize

on BBC Two England

Starring Paul Newman, Elke Sommer
with Diane Baker, Micheline Presle
and Edward G. Robinson as Dr Stratman

In this exciting thriller adapted from Irving Wallace's best-seller, Paul Newman plays a hard-bitten woman-chasing novelist visiting Stockholm to receive the Nobel Prize. What is it, he wonders, that is odd about Dr Stratman, winner of the prize for science? When he uses his suspicions as the beginning of a new detective plot, fiction alarmingly turns into fact!
