User Reviews

When Orly airport was small, and rocket scientists big...

secret services of conflicting powers battled to get their hands on Engineer George Lerins. Dated thriller, with plenty of shootings, and a couple of agents killed, plus impersonations and abductions. Car chase in the Tunnel of Alma (notorious since Diana, Princess of Wales, died there), and two songs by the lovely and immortal Dalida - "Inconnu mon amour" and "L'amour chante", present even in the English dubbed video, shortened to 91 minutes.
