Cold War paranoia runs like a current through this thriller from 1954. Gregory Peck stars as a tough, cynical Army officer charged with the responsibility of recovering a millionaire’s GI son from East German kidnappers. The dialogue is full of witty barbs and the plot takes no end of bizarre twists and turns. I’m fond of relics from this era, so if you don’t share my affection then you may not get as big a kick out of it as I did. Worth seeing
Media criticism. Pop culture snark. And movie reviews. Lots and lots of movie reviews.
