Poster for the movie Um Null Uhr schnappt die Falle zu

The Trap Snaps Shut at Midnight (1966)

Hijackers end up with a truckload of nitroglycerine — a sinister criminal wants it for his own purposes, while the FBI races to recover it before the unstable explosive brings death and destruction to Manhattan. Who will find the hidden stash first, and what will happen as the time before catastrophe ticks away? Can agent Jerry Cotton (George Nader) save the day? The movie, originally titled Um Null Uhr schnappt die Falle zu, is moderately entertaining, but a chaotic story and overuse of stock footage weaken this entry in the Jerry Cotton series.

  Mildly recommended. Otto judiciously thinks this movie is OK.

Movie 101 for 2022.
