The Pursuers

What a wonderful surprise I had today. It would be great if all British movies from this era were the same, so fast paced and breathtaking. The topic is rather unusual, especially when it is about war criminals. Nazi ones. Of course, it was inspired by Adolf Eichman's capture by the israeli secret service, the MOSSAD, in South America. And we can prefer RG Springsteen OPERATION EICHMAN. But this Danzigers's product, written by the famous Brian Clemens every one knows - the screen writer of many British films and TV series such Avengers - is sharply made. The story focuses more on the war criminal, nearly the lead, than on the nazi hunter. 　　The ex nazi is a nasty character, wearing glasses, with a moustache and not handsome at all. And he is shown in this feature as if he was the "poor hero" hunted down by the "villains" or accused of a murder he did not commit. And our "lead" has committed thousands of crimes, during the war, in a concentration camp !!! He is helped by a Jewish - and beautiful woman - who is of course unaware of his real identity. And he needs a new passport, and in that purpose he has to ask to a bunch of hoodlums. Hoodlums who decide to take much cash from him.
