About Jerry Cotton: The Trap Snaps Shut at Midnight
Third Jerry Cotton Adaption. A big shipment of Nitroglycerine, enough to make a shambles of New York, mysteriously vanishes! It's a race between agent Jerry Cotton and the underworld to see who can find the deadly explosive first. To complicate things further, the nitro must be found before a torrid heat wave causes it to blow much of the city sky high.
Directed by Harald Philipp, Jerry Cotton: The Trap Snaps Shut at Midnight leans on a strong ensemble — George Nader, Horst Frank, Heinz Weiss — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about crime titles of 1966.
