36 HOURS - 1965
RATED - PG for mild language, non-graphic violence and tense moments. No nudity or sex.
RATINGS - 17 Amazon (4/5), 13,076 Netflix (3.6/5), 1,311 IMDB (7.3/10).
STARRING - James Garner (Rockford Files, etc), Eva Marie Saint (Oscar winner in On The Waterfront), Rod Taylor.
STORY - The story is set during WWII right before D-Day. Garner plays an Army intelligence agent who is assigned to make one more routine mission before the big invasion to keep the Germans thinking everything is still status quo. He has been in on the highest levels of planning and knows the Allied plans. In a surprise move, he is captured by the Germans who are aware of the knowledge he has and have come up with a most creative plan for getting it out of this well trained intelligence officer who can resist all the normal interrogation techniques. This is a psychological thriller with some very clever little twists. It's a plausible story and will keep you involved. Garner is terrific. While not in the category of a 'classic' it's worth watching if you like WWII and spy stories. Enjoy. Lu G. for Lu's Reviews. 11-13-2010.

- I love to find movies that are off the radar screen of most people (many are classics but not always) and that have stood the test of time. Most have not only great entertainment value but go beyond that to touch on some great theme or topic that affects all of us as human beings and citizens.
