IMDb is a great bible for discovering unknown B movies, like this Magic Face, never seen in France. Thanks to the reviewers, I was excited for seeing this incredible version of the story of WWII, and I wasn't disappointed, it even explains some German mistakes. One of the writer is Mort Briskin, who has written The Second Woman and A Man Alone, mostly TV products and his two absolutely strong thrillers with Joe Don Baker directed by Phil Karlson, Framed and Walking Tall. The other writer is Robert Smith who has written great titles like I Walk Alone, Sudden Fear, Quicksand, 99 River Street and who also wrote The Second Woman with Mort Briskin. And the director is Frank Tuttle, no need to tell what great noir movies he directed. The three make a very fine team for creating a war movie treated on a noir style.
I just wonder why this very surprising gem hasn't ever been released, this incredible story deserves to be a cult B classic.
