Rent The Polish Officer

Synopsis

Alan Furst, widely acknowledged to be one of the best practitioners of the WWII espionage thriller, writes about an intelligence officer in the Polish underground. During the hard winter of 1939-1940, Captain Alexander de Milja is assigned the delicate task of getting the nation's gold reserve out of Warsaw and safely into hiding. Upon the successful completion of this assignment, his adventures expand to include the French black market, guerrilla resistance in Ukraine, and the fall of Paris, where de Milja works with the underground to defeat the Germans. Furst's fertile imagination creates the situations, but his impeccable research brings them to vibrant life, as he recreates the period, transforming it into the irresistible atmosphere of an artful, romantic, noirish black-and-white film.
