Les Espions is a treat for all fans for the great Henri-George Clouzot (Les Diaboliques, Wages of Fear), a spy thriller set in a dilapidated psychiatric hospital. A down at heel doctor (Gerard Sety) is offered a substantial sum of money by the US military to shelter a new patient. Soon the hospital beds are filled with international spies.
english subs:
great movie by Clouzot, not a classic spies movie
Kafka has his word to say all along this one,
not for James Bond lovers but something more dark
and in the same time caricature of spies movies
full of twisted humor
