Triple Agent: It helps to speak the lingo . . .
Posted by mr grits on April 11, 2010 at 18:57:29:
A very breezy, dialog intensive mystery taking place in late 30's France involving an "exiled" Czarist general and his charming Greek wife. The general assumes the identity of an executive in a White Army veterans organization. Soon we begin to see the multifaceted side of his life even before his wife does. When she was informed by a friend her husband was spotted in Berlin instead of Brussels she finally had what she needed to confront him about the true nature of his work. Still, after much conversation she felt no better informed than before. Much discussion is put into the prevailing theories of Marxist Revolution as advanced by Russia vs. France and the rest of Europe.
At two hours long this film has a lot verbiage to sift through and keep straight. I often felt no better off than his wife. The stories keep changing and enemies become allies and vice versa.
Not your average edge of the seat popcorn muncher. If you have a penchant for history the story has some semblence of truth.
