An excellent political thriller from Pontecorvo. One of the great Italian directors who made a limited amount of films and is best known for Battle for Algiers (1966) and his other masterpiece Kapo (1960). Freedom fighting Basque seperatists try to take out Spain's prime minister and probable successor to Franco. And it's pretty enthralling stuff. It may not have the visual elegance of some of his other works but it's one of my favorite crime films. Expert storytelling and shot in a way that makes the audience feel like a coconspitator.

Recreation, with budgetary limitations, of Carrero's jump.
