The Passage

J. Lee Thompson
Director

VIP is aided in escape from the Nazis by shepherd across the Pyrenees.

Fairly by the numbers chase flick helped (or hindered) by an off-the-chain turn by McDowell as a nasty SS type (and giving a taste of Caligula yet to come).

Don't ask me to explain what is going on at the end.

PSA: The version on Paramount+ is superior to that on Amazon.

Lord Heath did the original caps for this 13 years ago that I have now upgraded. Cheers, mate.
