or 2945558 weekender movie scene code name emerald clever by ian bailey code name emerald ed harris the star of this film has given more detailed perform ances in films such as alamo bay and the right stuff and there have been more striking films ab out the complexities of espionage yet despite its simplicity code name emerald is is an old- fashioned entertaining movie with a clever hero vile villains and a touch of romance that cul minates in a sequence that has to be seen to be disbelieved the story is clever enough with just enough twists to command attention it concerns an over lord one of the select few officers who were entrusted with the de tails of the dday in vasion in 1944 eric stoltz the hero in mask is an american overlord who is cap tured by the nazis they intend to squeeze his secrets out of him through interrogation their plan disturbs the allies to no end until they find a solution to the problem in a german agent codenamed emerald ed harris although the nazis believe that emerald is one of their agents he is actually working for the allies when the overlord is captured emerald is recalled to naziheld paris ostensibly to help in the in terrogation but actually to make sure that the stoltz character does not talk as adapted by ronald bass from his novel the emerald illu sion the film throws a few curves into its plot particularly in which of a trio of nazis max von sydow horst buchholz and helmut ber- ger is also a double agent pre pared to help emerald with his misson the result is kind of surprising although the movie is very sub dued its
