The Odessa File [DVD] Description
The Odessa File [DVD]
Originally released in 1974, The Odessa File is set in
Hamburg a decade earlier. Its starting-point is the Nazi support
network Odessa, and its involvement with Egyptian plans to destroy
Israel. Peter Miller is a freelance journalist whose interest
appears initially to be a professional one, before a personal
dimension finally becomes apparent in his confrontation with SS
Captain Roschmann.
Kenneth Ross adapts a well-honed screenplay from Frederick Forsyth's bestseller, and director Ronald Neame captures a typically Cold War sense of individuals and organisations playing out a scenario of political right and wrong. John Voight, long before he became a cameo star, makes a sympathetic lead, able to judge between the moral and material aspects of his profession. Mary Tamm is photogenic, if uninvolving, as his girlfriend, while Maximillian Schell is a convincing Nazi stereotype. Andrew Lloyd-Weber contributes a serviceable score, centred on the catchy "Christmas Dream" sung by Perry Como. Not a classic suspense thriller, but an enjoyable and thoughtful one.
On the DVD: the letterbox widescreen format preserves the
2.35:1 aspect ratio of the cinema release with decent if not
exceptional clarity, with optional 16:9 TV enhancement. There are
French, German, Italian and Spanish overdubs, and subtitles in 21
languages. Detailed filmographies for Neame, Voight and Schell are
included and the theatrical trailer is to the point in a way they
so rarely are these days. --Richard Whitehouse
