Viewing Notes

Amusing to go from a made for tv movie shot on a sound stage filmed like a chamber play (Petrified Forest 1955) to this adventure thriller shot on location from Paris to Monte Carlo and across the Maritime Alps. It’s an okay stolen relic flick but all the location filming takes it up a notch.
