A Hidden Jewel
Caught this movie on a cable channel and couldn't get it out ofmy mind for days! Chalize Theron dazzles, Penelope Cruz foronce doesn't play for glamour and Stuart Townsend shines as thehero in this 1940's Nazi-era France drama. Theron is a designerwho not only doubles as a "madam" but also as a Nazi spy, Cruzis her lover and Spanish patriot along with Englishman Townsendwho decide they must try to do their part and leave Theronbehind. There is war, there is high drama, there is tendernessand a frightening end...this is a movie in the style of the real1940's; it isn't a edge-of-your-seat film but more of a "sleeper", it's about three people during a turbulent time in history. Good movie for a wet Sunday afternoon!
