Hace unos diez días se distribuyó en xbtt.animersion.net (gracias a Bingo, que realizó el ripeo) una película que es interesante entre otras cosas porque cierra un ciclo: el del espía Harry Palmer. Esta película es Medianoche en San Petersburgo o Midhnight in Saint Petersburg.
La película ha tenido poca difusión, creo porque no se ha puesto en un medio más amplio como éste. Así que ahí va.

De la película se puede decir:
De acuerdo y enlazando con la última aventura de Harry Palmer (El expreso de Pekin, Bullet to Beijing), éste decide abrir una agencia de investigación en Rusia, contando como copartícipes algunos de los integrantes de la anterior aventura. El trabajo que les encargan es encontrar una cantidad de plutonio que ha sido robada...
Esta fué la quinta y última aventura rodada con este personaje como protagonista, aunque en algunas críticas se hace referencia a que solo fueron tres películas (Ipcress, Funeral en Berlin y Un cerebro de un billón de dólares). Claro que esto tiene su historia. Según IMDb, "... Michael Caine had originally signed a five-picture deal, but when he was reluctant to return to the role, producer Harry Saltzman let him out of the contract. Much later, though, he did make two more Harry Palmer films: Bullet to Beijing (1995) and Midnight in Saint Petersburg (1996)."
Duración de la película: 85 min, 57 s.
Esto es lo que dura el archivo que aquí se distribuye, no lo que se indica en Culturalianet y en IMDb.

Un interesante comentario sacado de IMDb:
"... Well, as a movie, it isn't that great, very predictable, specially who the bad one is. How ever, I have been going to St Petersburg just about every year since 1998, but not this year
and it really made me miss her.What I liked about the movie was that it should a lot of real Russians (like at the Circus) and had many Russian actors, and pretty realistically portrayed St Petersburg, including the feuds between the mafias at that time, and the checking for weapons at some popular restaurants. I also recognized the interior of the Nevskii Palac which has since changed hands but is still a ***** hotel. I stayed across the street once and around the corner once for a week in Russian style flats for what they want for a night
I don't speak fluent Russian, but I know enough to understand that he was told to meet the guy that was shot at the Leningradky Vokzahl (railway station) by the statue of Lenin. This is a famous place in SPB, one of the few public statues of Lenin still existing and people jokingly mention that he looks like he is trying to flag down a 'cab' (not an official one of course, just any car, including an army vehicle, that might be headed in the right direction). So when he makes the misleading statements about going to Moskow and shows up at the Moskovsky Vokszhal I was wondering what they would do until he took another cab to the right place. Rarely do I get the 'insider's thrill' like this'.Not a movie to watch if you want great cinema, but one to see for glimpses of real Russia. I also liked that the Russians were not the bad guys per se and vice versa.
Could have been a much better movie. I was not surprised to learn it was 'made for TV'. Michael Caine was Michael Caine, which is to say the character fits him like a glove, but he did seem to be mailing his performance in. Needed a much stronger director I think."
