The Counterfeit Traitor

Spy games.......2007-08-23

The counterfeit traitor is a smart tale of espionage and intrigue. A man, William Holden is blackmailed into becoming a spy instead of a neutral businessman. Negotiating a minefield of danger he succeeds in deceiving the Germans and greatly aiding the allied war effort. It takes a smooth actor to carry out a difficult assignment in making the hard to believe very real and believable. For a war movie it has very little violence and also makes war seem like a civil disagreement. It is thoughtful and engrossing and comes to a satisfying conclusion. It is a morality play about the scuples of warfare military and civilian.

The Counterfeit Traitor.......2007-06-28

Based on the true story of a blackmailed oil dealer born on American soil, Seaton's riveting wartime thriller features a knockout performance by Holden, whose burly frame and husky voice is a perfect fit for the role. The radiant Lilli Palmer holds her own as Marianne Mollendorf, the Prussian socialite who assists in providing crucial target information to the Allied forces, as well as offering amorous comfort to Erickson, whose own wife has left him. For a finely crafted, nerve-jarring tale of real-world subterfuge, don't let "The Counterfeit Traitor" out of sight.
