Review – The House on Garibaldi Street

In both documentary and fictionalized narrative, the trial of Adolph Eichmann has been thoroughly movie-ized. This production, on the other hand, presents a Raid on Entebbe-esque recounting of the plot to seize Eichmann from his post-war hideout in Buenos Aires and drag him off to Israel for trial. The plot bogs down in the second half, particularly after the commandos seize him but can’t get him out of the country immediately (leading to a lot of over-wrought interrogation sessions). Overall, however, it’s a nice exploration of an under-explored part of a well-known story. Mildly amusing
