In Nazi-occupied Italy, Rand, an American spy whose cover has been blown, flees to a safe house, and is hidden in the attic. That same evening, Klaus, a German officer who has been dating the homeowner’s wife in exchange for protecting her husband, insists on spending the night, effectively making Rand an indefinite prisoner in her home. An early intimate thriller from Irvin Kershner, director of Eyes of Laura Mars and The Empire Strikes Back, with a recent recommendation by Martin Scorsese.
