In the Second World War British safecracker Eddie Chapman
is quite prepared to work for whichever side offers him the
greatest thrills - and the most money. He can either offer
his services as a spy to the Nazis or remain loyal to Britain
and face a lengthy jail sentence. He opts for the former.
But various Nazis doubt Chapman's loyalty to their cause,
and with good reason. Making contact with the British, Chapman
offers to act as a double agent - for a fee, of course. But
just how far is Chapman prepared to lie and scheme to help
one side to win the war?...
Terence
Young, the director best remembered for his James Bond films
- Dr No, From Russia with Love and Thunderball
- was one of Britain's most consummate orchestraters of big
screen action.
He
was also equally capable of handling drama and character-driven
narrative. And as a result, Triple Cross is a better than
average war movie. far better.
With a cast featuring Christopher Plummer, Trevor Howard and
Yul Bryner it would be hard to make a bad movie. And in the
hands of Young a slightly lumpy script is transformed into
a solid and entertaining wartime romp.
It's not a classic but Triple Cross is a worthwhile
addition to the collection of anyone serious about war films.
