Rosebud is a 1975 motion picture directed by Otto Preminger, and starring Peter O'Toole, Richard Attenborough, and Peter Lawford. Larry Martin (O'Toole) is a Newsweek reporter, secretly working for the CIA. He is tasked, along with Israeli intelligence, to work for the release of five wealthy girls kidnapped by the PLA from the yacht Rosebud. Martin must contend with the girls' fathers all of whom are wealthy, connected and concerned. Sloat (Attenborough) is the head of Black September and is connected with the kidnappings and is subsequently hunted down. The film opened to hostile reviews and is generally seen as a lesser work of Preminger's. Time magazine's title for its review was Rose Dud. Former New York Mayor John Lindsay plays the father of one of the girls. Kim Cattrall, later of Sex and the City fame, makes her film debut, playing a teenager. less
