TIVOLI Direction: Christchurch Cinemas, Ltd., and Kerridge-Odeon. ’Phone 78-290. The “ Picturegoer,” London, gives “Operation Secret” three stars, and says: •‘OPERATION SECRET” CORNEL WILDE PHYLLIS THAXTER STEVEN COCHRAN KARL MALDEN “Settle down for a piece of spy Action in the best Oppenheim tradition. It’s a welldesigned workmanlike job. The French Secret Police call on a Frenchman, a German and an Englishman to reconstruct moves in an underground espionage coup during the last war to trace the murderer of a member of the Marquis. In flashback testimony, the story follows the fortunes of three French soldiers from the fall of France to the eve of Liberation. It’s a tightly packed and compelling Slot, reinforced by a secondary mystery leme that is given a neat twist at the end. First-rate camerawork makes this film vibrate with realism. Strong characterisation heightens the drama, and the French nature and outlook is sympathetically treated. Cornel Wilde ana Steve Cochran as underground fighters, give strong, convincing performances, with good support from Phyllis Thaxter. But Karl Malden, first seen over here in “ A Streetcar Named Desire,” is the scene-stealer with a robust line in salty humour.” IT ZIGZAGS ACROSS THE WORLD !
