Hotel Reserve

An Austrian medical student is accused of spying while holidaying in pre-World War Two France and strives to prove his innocence to the sceptical authorities. But they seem unlikely to believe that his snaps of military installations were an accidental by-product of his love of wildlife photography, leaving him to face the prospect of a lengthy spell in prison - or the death sentence. Tense espionage thriller, boosted by a marvellous performance from James Mason, who stars alongside Lucie Mannheim, Raymond Lovell and Julien Mitchell
