Jerry Cotton Schüsse aus dem Geigenkasten – Lesung und Film
The famous FBI agent Jerry Cotton has been on the road for over 70 years on behalf of Bastei-Verlag, providing security in the skyscraper canyons of New York City week after week. In the 1960s, the aim was to compete with the famous secret agent James Bond with a total of eight cinema films. The films still have a large fan base today because of their special charm. Breitenseer Lichtspiele invites you to a programme with the first film in this series. The programme will be accompanied by a lecture and reading by Viennese Jerry Cotton author MICHAEL BLIHALL.
