 I remember enjoying the novel fifty-something years ago. I also remember the film, which was pretty true to the book.

The fascinating thing was that you knew the ending - de Gaulle was not going to be assassinated - but it was suspenseful anyway.

 I went through the same two phases. Fantastic performances, great photography and music, whole different story.
