3.0 out of 5 stars And suddenly the past catches up with you..., December 6, 2005

This review is from: The Rendezvous (Audio Cassette)

In May 1944 the Gestapo Colonel, Alfred Brunnerman, begins his interrogation of a French Resistance agent, Terese Masson. If he cannot break her down by "subtle" means, she will be delivered to the sadists in the German torture headquarters in Paris. Both Brunnerman and Terese are young, in different circumstances they could have been attracted to each other. Throughout the hours of their interview that possibility becomes so evident that it almost leads to the corruption of Brunnerman and the destruction of the girl...

So begins the chilling story of an escaped Nazi war criminal, living as a successful architect under a false name and nationality in New York society. His past is buried for good - or so he thinks - and he moves at ease among the rich and famous. Then, at a fashionable cocktail party, Brunnerman suddenly comes face to face with the woman he sent to the torture chamber twenty years ago. And he experiences a violent reawakening of the passion he had once used to try and save Terese Masson.

In this recording, the story is read in a superb way by British comedian Pavel Douglas who manages to perform a wide variety of accents - American, French and German. A delight to listen to.
