Doe this film feature Paris Airport?


Hi,

Please can anyone tell me whether this is the film that features a chase through the perspex escalator tunnels at Paris Charles de Gaulle (Roissy) Airport?

Many Thanks in Advance

Nothing so glamorous. The escalator scene was Shepherds Bush shopping precinct! You see M Caine running out of the tube station (Central Line) and up onto the escalator. I lived in S/Bush at this time and remember The Professionals was filmed here too.

Was the scene part of a short film composed from single still photographs? If so, you could be thinking of Chris Marker's La Jetée (1962), which inspired Twelve Monkeys (1995).
