1947's 13 Rue Madeleine is going to be our TNT feature this Thursday. The film stars Annabella, James Cagney and Richard Conte and is set during World War II. I didn't want to ruin the movie for myself so I didn't read the entire synopsis, but in short the movie is about a spy finding out that one of his own is actually a Nazi double agent.
Now I'll admit that I'm normally not too keen on watching war pieces and movies set during the war; I just don't find them to be my can of soda. So while the movie title interests me, knowing that it is more of a war mystery movie does dim my excitement a little, but it's not really closed-mindedness so much; just not on my list of personal film preferences. Maybe this movie will change my mind though, I have never seen a James Cagney movie and over the years I have heard nothing but good things about his acting style and films. If nothing else I'll be able to catch a performance of one of yesterday's greats. I was not expecting to see that the movie only got 2.5 out of 4 stars from film critics and didn't fare much better with fan reviews. Guess we'll find out why on Thursday. Here's the trailer:
