£0.00

(L'espion)


Country: GER/FR
Technical: Eastmancolor 101m
Director: Raoul Lévy
Cast: Montgomery Clift, Hardy Kruger, Macha Meril

Synopsis:

A Soviet scientist wanting to defect is watched closely by the Stasi secret police, so the CIA sends an agent to retrieve sensitive microfilm from him in person.

Review:

Archetypal sixties Cold War thriller: dismal lighting, funereal pacing and tone, and an actor whose hunched shoulders and sallow complexion say it all. It was all too real: Clift would die before year end, aged 45.
