All atmosphere and acting no spoilers


This is a film I have always wanted to see and now it is out on dvd I have seen it.

It is not a great film but I still enjoyed it,it is all atmosphere and good acting with the actual details of the plot somehow less important and not even clear at some points.
It is similar to CASABLANCA and other wartime dramas but is set in 1938/1939,if you like war and spy movies you might like it,lots of raincoats,cafes,anti fascists,smoking,alcohol.

I wish I had a time machine,I would go back to Paris between the wars and tell them to get organised for the coming war,France rounded up battle proven anti fascists and failed to promote morale during the phoney war.
