THE ODESSA FILE (1974) A classic post-war spy thriller. Hamburg, 1963. Freelance journalist Peter Miller finds himself in possession of a diary detailing the war crimes perpetrated by former SS captain Eduard Roschmann, now a top industrialist. When Miller sets out to bring Roschmann to justice, he comes up against the ODESSA, a secret organisation dedicated to protecting former SS officers and advancing their position in the post-war world.

For this special screening, novelist Tony Kent joins writer, Nick Triplow, to talk about the film, the original novel and its journey to the screen, as well as his collaboration with Frederick Forsyth on REVENGE OF ODESSA, the acclaimed sequel to THE ODESSA FILE.
