Review of 13 Rue Madeleine (1947) by Jamison R — 18 May 2010
This came out right after the end of WWII and was a bit of a propaganda device in a way to show how the Allies won the war. It begins as sort of a documentary feel and they sprinkle that in throughout.
James Cagney plays a head of the counterintelligence unit who trains spies and ultimately must track down a double agent. He's an interesting choice to play a man who is supposed to speak 5 languages and be one of America's greatest athletes. No matter what country he's in he still speaks with his famous rat-a-tat delivery and thick American accent.
Overall this was a fairly entertaining film and featured some fine performances. Not one of Cagneys best but not bad.
