Information :
Released in Great Britain as a TV film, it was on general release in France.

We can notice on the top of the gate an object which would have been easy to hide: a direction finder with moveable frames! At that time, the first invention existed: the goniometer BELLINI-TOSI with big fixed frames! This anachronism was pointed out by Mr Marcel BELLINI who lives in Fresne-Saint-Mamès 70130.
