...beaches had been secured on Dday, the first order of business was to organize a breakout. It had been an important part of Montgomery's strategy that British forces should thrust inland some 20 miles on D-day itself, well beyond Caen, a commercial crossroads. Partly out of caution, partly out of weariness, the vanguard of the British I Corps halted for the night about halfway there, some four miles north of the city. Compared with the victory on the beachhead, the failure to reach Caen that first day seemed a minor shortcoming. Montgomery even invited Churchill on June...
...search of the embassy had begun a day earlier in an atmosphere of extreme caution. Fearful that the departing Libyans had left time bombs or booby traps behind, police used a remote-controlled shotgun to blast open a rear door of the building. Searchers crawled through the Victorian sewers beneath the square to make sure that the Libyans had not disposed of gelignite they were thought to possess by flushing it down a toilet.

Principally, while the film is billed as a French movie--and in many senses lives up to its classification--one crucial ingredient is missing dialogue. Admittedly, this concept is hardly novel, and from an experimental point of view, can be highly appealing. However, such a striking departure from cinematic norms unavoidably poses certain problems. For one, since most audiences are accustomed to verbal interaction, the film demands its viewers display...
