In This Deadly Game... He Could Lose Only Once!

Overview

In World War II France, American soldier Michael Blake captures, then loses Nazi-collaborator art thief Paul Rona, who leaves behind a gem studded gauntlet (a stolen religious relic).

In Paris, he must dodge mysterious followers and a corpse that's hard to explain; so he and attractive tour guide Christine decamp on a cross-country pursuit that becomes love on the run...then takes yet another turn.

    I can't help think that Glenn Ford was just the wrong man for the part here. He portrays "Mike" - a GI who returns to France after WWII to track down an artefact that he encountered at the end of the war - one that could reverse his rather meagre financial fortunes. When in Paris a corpse is found in his hotel room so he must flee the pursuing gendarmes and others on the look out for the eponymous, gem-laden, gauntlet. Luckily, he is helped by local tour guide "Christine" (Geraldine Brooks) and our adventure takes him deep into the French countryside. The story is quite good, but the execution ...
