| | Political thriller - Nazi & communist cold war intrigue | nana4u 08/09/2009 | | Col Van Dyke (Peck) is stuck with a spy thriller at the communist border in Berlin. Following Nazi Germany; cold war politics have divided Berlin into pieces of a police puzzle. The characters have mysterious past histories; and the plot twists maintain a suspenceful film noir. The story keeps pace with the viewer's interest until the disclosure of loyalties is finally finished. Good yarn well worth the trip. |
