Description: 'Puppet on a Chain' is a 1971 British thriller directed by Geoffrey Reeve, based on Alistair MacLean's 1969 novel. The film follows U.S. agent Paul Sherman, portrayed by Sven-Bertil Taube, as he investigates a heroin smuggling ring in Amsterdam. Assisted by his undercover partner Maggie, played by Barbara Parkins, Sherman uncovers a city rife with drugs and a police force unable or unwilling to act. The movie is noted for its signature boat chase along the canals of Amsterdam, which reportedly inspired similar sequences in later films.
