A gripping, unusual study of the people of the port of Marseilles during Nazi occupation..., 4 August 2008
7/10
Author: ccmiller1492 (ccmiller1492@yahoo.com) from Fairfax, VA

A gripping, unusual study of the people of the port of Marseilles during Nazi occupation...the supporting characters are outstanding: James Robertson Justice as a secret murderer posing as a benevolent arranger for people desperate to escape, his several victims as he works to achieve an even 100, the plucky jeune femme who does her best to "capture" the English POW (Boyd), and each person right down to the German troopers (the overweight beastly molester, and the callow and nervous trigger-happy 20 yr. who kills a child.) Every performance in this film is meticulous and authentic, and helps in building to a very tense and suspenseful outcome. And there are moments of great pathos and excitement along the way. Don't miss this one, it's a neglected gem.
