Feb 1, 2016 A talky, interesting movie about the near-destruction of Paris and the men who stopped it from happening. See more Jan 28, 2016 An excellent dialogue piece. See more Dec 20, 2015 During World War II, when the German occupation was at the brink of defeat in Paris, General Dietrich von Choltitz, who was acting as Paris's governor, was under orders to destroy the city's famous landmarks, and flood the city's inhabitants with the waters of the River Seine before Paris could fall into the Allies' hands. Aware of these plans, Swedish diplomat Raoul Nordling secretly negotiated with Choltitz to prevent that catastrophe from happening. This film is the story of those secret negotiations. Most of the film is a recreation of the nerve-racking dialogue between the two main players, who give a compelling portrayal of their roles as the persuader and the persuaded. At just over 1.5 hours, this film is a quick and engrossing watch. Highly recommended, especially if you like history and stories from World War II. See more Nov 24, 2015 Wow. It's a real thriller. all within the confines of one palatial office during the last days of WW II. Brilliant acting by the two leads. See more Nov 23, 2015 Another one with a huge review and high ratings with much ado about nothing. The majority of the movie is filmed in an office with a conversation between 2. The latter part of the movie finally moves out of the office but sincerely - nothing to write home about.
