	The Valley of the Shadow: About the Freedmen's Bureau
		The Bureau was initially chartered to operate for just one year, but continued until 1868 under the care of commissioner General Oliver O. Howard, who was aided by assistant commissioners in every Southern state and by hundreds of local agents.
		Bureau agents helped to mediate these conflicts through the settlement of a monetary claim or the re-negotiation of the terms of labor.
		Bureau agents often served as legal advisors and representatives to freedmen, and the register records many of the details of crimes committed against, and by, freedmen.

	DVD Savant Review: The Assassination Bureau
		Associated with the 60s SuperSpy craze, The Assassination Bureau is a lavishly produced comic sendup of "quaint" assassins and anarchists at the turn of the century, before the high-level killings that started WW1.
		The Assassination Bureau was one title in a group of Paramount foreign acquisitions that were released together on laserdisc in the middle 90s - Barbarella, Danger: Diabolik and Alfie.
		Bureau has a few jokes referring to the same subject (a soldier scoffs at the idea that bombs will ever be dropped from the air, for instance) but there's no thematic tension here - the members of the Assassination Bureau are as casually ruthless as bad guys in modern spy movies.

	Assassination - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

		Strange as it may seem, I had never heard of "The Assassination Bureau" before, despite the fact that the film was made as far back as 1968 and I consider myself quite fluent in movies.
		She places a similar ad and is soon contacted by an organization, which calls itself "The Assassination Bureau." To her shock she learns that this bureau is a full-fledged company, making money by killing people on order.
		Always with a wink, "The Assassination Bureau" is a delightful comedy that is filled with great moments, side-splitting clichés and some unexpected twists.

	The Assassination Bureau (1969) -- RUTHLESS REVIEWS: Movies
		After a bit of initial shock at the proposition of killing not only their leader, but the son of the Bureau's beloved founder, all the assassins agree to play ball.
		Curiously, the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand was shown to actually be a an attempt on Dragomioff's life by the very Colonel Klink-ish General von Pinck.
		Again, The Assassination Bureau is a comedy, and as such I approached it with a light heart (one made all the lighter by the presence of the divine Diana Rigg).

		Ivan is in charge of a wide-reaching organization which, for a price, assassinates those who "need killing." As a challenge, Sonya offers to pay Ivan a huge sum if he'll instruct his minions to assassinate him; Ivan agrees, hoping that it will put a little kick in his work.

	The Assassination Bureau - Nostalgia Central
		Rigg persuades the gang's leader Ivan Dragomiloff (Oliver Reed) to allow himself to become a target as a challenge to his professionalism.
		It's a clever twist but the numerous attempts by the bureau to kill Dragomiloff do not provide the laughs they promise - They are too numerous and make the movie repetitious.
		It's also hard to laugh at these goons trying to assassinate each other when various innocent bystanders get blown up in the process.

		An aspiring reporter (Diana Rigg) determines to make her way to the top of her profession by unmasking an international gang of murderers headed by the suave Ivan Dragomiloff (Oliver Reed).
		Sensing an opportunity to weed out the useless members of his "assassination bureau", Ivan enthusiastically becomes the target in a worldwide game of cat and mouse...
		A more potentially interesting subplot dealing with the machinations of villain Telly Savalas, who desires to "upgrade" the bureau as a political tool, isn't given sufficient time to develop; as it stands, it carries no more weight than the average scheme hatched by Blofeld in a James Bond adventure.

	dOc DVD Review: The Assassination Bureau (1969)
		Bostwick consents and funds her, and Winter arranges for a meeting with the head of The Assassination Bureau, Ltd., Ivan Dragomiloff (Olvier Reed).
		But even Ivan is not quite as amoral as his bureau, who are itching to make money from murder for hire without regard to the villainy of the target.
		There's not a great deal of Jack London here, beyond the basic concept of the bureau, the plan to have Ivan be the target of his bureau, and the character names.

		Behind the overwhelming "stylishness" that first greets the eyes, and it is a wonderfully varied and colorful production, Jack London's fascinating story of the "assassination bureau" has been updated by writer Robert L. Fish to be an "ethical" idea gone wrong.
		The basic premise is that the pragmatic and cynical end of the 19th Century with its pseudo-Christian thug-like monarchs, dynasts and empire-builders was unjust to individual victims.

		The directorial style, courtesy of Basil Dearden (Masquerade, Khartoum), is cheesy and fun in the '60s Brit fashion of "The Avengers" and "The Prisoner," with dazzling costumes and art direction (the Art Deco set for a multi-level Paris brothel is especially delicious).
		There's not much story, really, but Reed makes for an intimidating and sexy assassin, while Rigg gets the chance to wear everything from Victorian traveling clothes to frilly corsets and bloomers to, well, nothing but a towel.
		Telly Savalas co-stars as the newspaper publisher who hires Rigg to cover the story, failing to tell her that he's the Bureau's co-chairman with his own stake in the outcome.
