Ill Met by Moonlight (1957)

Rank Film
Directed by Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger
My rating: 3 stars out of 4
IMDb Wikipedia
(DVD, Hens Tooth)

Maltin describes this as a "taut WWII thriller", though I found it to be a rather leisurely paced film more interested in the native Greeks than any kind of suspense. Still, Powell and Pressburger are always worth watching, and there were some nice photographic moments in the mountains, fog and of course moonlight. However, I really did not care about what happened to anybody, except maybe the kid and his boots.
