...June, for example, a gunshop owner and his wife sat paralyzed with fright in a Frankfurt restaurant as Stoll and a woman companion dined at a nearby table. The witnesses were sure of their man: a year before, Stoll had knocked the gun dealer unconscious and had stolen 20 pistols from his store. Finally overcoming his fear, the dealer alerted the police, but when investigators arrived, Stoll had melted away in the crowd...
Finally last week, on the day after the Schleyer memorial services, Willy Peter Stoll's luck ran out. A woman recognized him as he sat sipping a beer in a nondescript Chinese restaurant near the Düsseldorf railroad station. She alerted the police. Minutes later, two plainclothesmen walked into the restaurant, sat down, studied their quarry for a couple of minutes. Then they rose, approached Stoll and ordered him to surrender.

Romy Schneider is extraordinarily attractive as the woman, and Victor Lanoux (of Cousin, Cousine) offers both stalwart charm and ideological reticence as the revolutionary. We are allowed to gather that what makes him more attractive than her husband, who is funnier and probably better company over the long haul, is that belief in something beyond oneself tends to make a fellow more exciting sexually. A dubious point, but sufficient for a movie which, like others written by Semprun (notably La Guerre Est Finie), insists that...
