Little Drummer Girl, The (1984) – Nostalgia Central

This cloak and dagger puzzle is based on the best -selling novel by John Le Carier (who played a short role as a policeman in the movie under his real name, David Cornwall) and starring Diane Kiton in the role of Charlie, an American and Palestinian actress. The sympathizer who was lured into the world of international spy by the Mossad spy chief named Curtz (Klaus Kingski).

Charlie – a figure originally inspired by Lu Carre’s sister, actress Charlotte Cornwall – becomes a tool in a deceptive and sensitive Israeli trap that was prepared to kill a far -fetch Palestinian revolutionary named Khalil (Sami Fry).

Mossad believes Charlie’s sympathy for the Arabs and her love for her [someone she believes is] Michelle, brother of Khalil, can lead them to their prey.

Palestinian intelligence believes that it is loyal to their cause.

Although the book has achieved good sales, the film failed to raise the heroine of the hollow, a bleak conspiracy, and a fatal absence of suspense. George Roy Hill clinical guidance is also prohibited from the entire production of any real style or atmosphere.

From the beginning, it was clear that the Israelis were the ones who control the situation, and that the Arabs are less efficient and patent have no chance, and therefore the tension is very limited.

There is also a certain amount of indifference to Charlie’s fate itself – it is difficult to sympathize with this shallow wooden character that easily succumbs to the volatile transfers of affection and loyalty between Jews and Arabs.

We do not reach the Middle East except at the end of the movie, and most of the plots are unfolded in the familiar places of Le Carre – beautiful German cities, a notorious medium layer in England, and European ports (with a very brief overview of the Greek island). Miconos).

finally, Small drum girl It does not provide any idea of ​​the Arab -Israeli terrorism or conflict.

In 2018, the British Broadcasting Corporation produced a six -part TV series for Le Carre, starring Florence Bug in the role of Charlie.
