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 Napoleon’s 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 President’s Men, The Princess Bride), Year of the Comet also features Tim Daly (TV's Wings, Basic, TV’s The Fugitive), Ian Richardson (British TV's House of Cards, Dark City, Brazil), Ian McNeice (The Russia House, TV’s Doc Martin, Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls) and Art Malik (True Lies, The Living Daylights)."
