 Rating:  - A sprawling, satisfying WWII espionage thriller. William Holden's performance keeps it togetherThink of The Counterfeit Traitor as a sprawling but engrossing three-part espionage novel with a daunting number of pages to get through. If you're like me, you'll have a good time. In fact, I think The Counterfeit Traitor, even with all its subsections and all of its 240 minutes, is one of the best of the WWII sagas.

Rating: - Spy gamesThe counterfeit traitor is a smart tale of espionage and intrigue. A man, William Holden is blackmailed into becoming a spy instead of a neutral businessman. Negotiating a minefield of danger he succeeds in deceiving the Germans and greatly aiding the allied war effort. It takes a smooth actor to carry out a difficult assignment in making the hard to believe very real and believable. For a war movie it has very little violence and also makes war seem like a civil disagreement. It is thoughtful and engrossing ... Read More |
