Anna Karina & Barry Newman in "The Salzburg Connection" (1972)

Barry Newman and Anna Karina star in this espionage thriller based on a spy novel by Helen MacInnes. The Salzburg Connection tells the tale of Yankee lawyer William Mathison who goes to the lovely little Austrian city of Salzberg on holiday. Before he knows it he ends up hopelessly entangled in an international web of auto chases, rival spies, assassins, and neo-Nazis searching for a chest that holds the names of Nazi collaborators and war criminals. Otto Preminger's brother, Ingo, who had been a lawyer in Vienna before going to USA served as producer of the film version of this story.

As a 12 year-old I was forced by my mom to go along and act as birth control while my sister and her new boyfriend went to the Route 66 Drive-in night after night to see the "Poseidon Adventure." I saw it 7 times in 2 weeks from the concession stand while they stayed in the car and repeatedly tore one off.

The back end of the double feature was this film, "The Salzburg Connection," which I never got to see, because after being spent and satisfied, they always wanted to leave right away. Ughhh.
