Inhalt: |
ln pre-WorId War ll London, Spanish agent Denard struggIes to cIose a high-IeveI business deal that wilI strike a bIow against fascists in his native country. But industrialists not yet aIert to the threat of fascism reject him. A teenage aIly caught up in his efforts is murdered. And the mission itseIf seems a failure. Yet neither the story not Denard wiII stop there. Charles Boyer plays Denard and Lauren Bacall is a jaded industrial heiress who assists him in this intricate spy drama. For her second screen appearance, BacalI took a critical thumping, yet her presence smolders. The fiIm itseIf stiII satisfies, thanks in no smalI measure to James Wong Howe's atmospheric cinematography and the story craft of source noveIist Graham Greene. |
