»rank: 9312
Chroniques et points de vue:From :An overeager German journalist (Jon Voight) discovers a long-buried secret plot beginning to resurface in this moderately compelling, surprisingly straightforward adaptation of a novel by conspiracy whiz Fredrick (Day of the Jackal) Forsythe.

13 Rue Madeleine
»rank: 26204
Chroniques et points de vue:From :A neat World War ll thriller, 13 Rue Madeleine benefits from the postwar craze for shooting outside the studio.
