Fascist plot in France and Italy
29 August 2021
After "House of secrets" and "Charade" set in Paris, here's "House of cards" directed by John Guillermin, set in Paris in the first part, then in Burgundy to finish in Italy. It's an entertaining fast paced chase of a determined American (excellent George Peppard) against rich organized fascists all over the world. It's a movie full of details with lot of weird characters, violent situations and a lost young boy in middle of this madness. And some apparitions of Orson Welles, wah the end. Nice discover, a blend of murder, violent plot, comedy and romance, as in a Hitchcock movie. But I find it under Charade, I think it lacks rhythm.
