Synopsis: A fortune is left in a Swiss bank by three Nazi officers who diverted money which was supposed to go to the State; they committed suicide at the end of the war. Their alleged purpose was to constitute a fund which would make up for all the evil which the Nazi regime caused. Four decades after the end of the war, an American architect named Holcroft, the son of one of the suicidal officers, is approached by the banker entrusted with the money. Holcroft must now find the heirs to the remaining officers and start the Foundation.
Appraisal: Second viewing. It's a weak premise and plot, in my view, but it is stylishly done, and the result is not without entertaining value. My appreciation of this film is considerably greater now than it was upon my first viewing.
