The Swiss Conspiracy shows off Switzerland's beauty – and Roku reaches a milestone

---

Film Masters' latest release is kind of an espionage tale, except it's more about Swiss banking intrigue than it is kind of James Bond adventure.

Meanwhile, Roku, the streaming platform and service, has announced it's now being used by 80 million people worldwide. That's quite the thing!

As far as the Swiss Conspiracy is concerned, the 1976 movie stars David Janssen as a retired DOJ officer who's hired to be a "security consultant" to solve a blackmail conspiracy involving some very high rollers and their Swiss bank accounts.

Five of these rollers have been "doxed" (a term that didn't exist back then, I daresay), something Swiss banks try to prevent from happening lest their credibility and reputation for discretion go up in smoke. One of the doxees is also a Chicago mob dude who has other problems of his own: he's being chased by American gangsters.

David Christopher (Janssen, who may have been best known as Dr. Richard Kimble in the '60's TV series The Fugitive, though he was also in such films as The Shoes of the Fisherman and The Green Berets)
keeps pursuing the truth doggedly, with mixed results. Mixed, in that these "doxees" start getting killed off.
