Year of the Comet

Little did Margaret Harwood (Penelope Ann Miller, Carlito’s Way, The Freshman, Kindergarten Cop) imagine the international intrigue she would unleash when discovering a rare bottle of wine in France in the Peter Yates (Bullitt, Krull, Robbery) adventure comedy, Year of the Comet. The wine in question, which dates to 1811 and bears Napoleons seal, is also coveted by unscrupulous scientist Philippe (portrayed by Louis Jourdan (Gigi, Octopussy, Letter from an Unknown Woman) in his final screen appearance), a Greek billionaire and a ruthless thug.

Written by William Goldman (Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, All the Presidents Men, The Princess Bride), Year of the Comet also features Tim Daly (TV’s Wings, Basic, TVs The Fugitive), Ian Richardson (British TV’s House of Cards, Dark City, Brazil), Ian McNeice (The Russia House, TVs Doc Martin, Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls) and Art Malik (True Lies, The Living Daylights).”
