A pretty black and white suspense film. Good, not great. I think it would have been improved by eliminating the narration.

Minor nouvelle vague thriller, January 23, 2008
La Combat Dans L'Ile/Fire and Ice is a minor nouvelle vague political thriller from Alan Cavalier, who became overshadowed by his collaborators on this film, Louis Malle and Jean-Paul Rappeneau (Malle produced the film as a criticism of Jean-Luc Godard and other then-right wing nouvelle vague directors and their support for the French occupation of Algeria and for the OAS and their campaign of terrorism and assassination in mainland France). It's an okay romantic triangle of sorts, with Romy Schneider transferring her affections from Jean-Louis Trintignant's spoiled right wing terrorist to Henri Serre's left-wing printer, leading to a rather silly duel. It's dated better than most Nouvelle Vague films of its day, but still has the mixture of shallow content and unconvincing storytelling that is less import than the style of filmmaking.
