Berlin Express (1948)
directed by Jacques Tourneur
rating: 4 out of 5 cravats
seen on the screen at La Cinémathèque française
The same can-do wartime camaraderie as those helmeted Powell & Pressburger fantasies, with a little more American bite and a little more American sap. In the bombed-about breweries, sad-clown variety halls, and international mêlée of everyone speaking the wrong language, it's more than a little Arkadin, too.
