THE NEXT MAN

1hr 48mins
Dir: Richard C Sarafian
Starring: Sean Connery and Cornelia Sharpe

An Arab diplomat becomes a target for a series of ingeniously conceived assassination attempts as he attempts to make peace with Israel

This American political action thriller was filmed on location in a number of different countries, including Ireland. One scene features a view from inside a Rolls-Royce as it is driving down Station Road, Killiney, and a train is running along the seafront between the road and Killiney Bay. The car follows the train for a short while and although there are good shots of the CIE coaching stock, the locomotive at the head is not visible.

Looking south down Station Road and beyond the Dublin-Bray railway is Killiney Bay (thanks to reelstreets)
