According to myself this is a great movie (by Louis Malle) with a great music score (Miles Davis). As if that wasn't enough this version of the movie poster is an extraordinary one. Does anyone have the name of the poster artist?
I guess hardly anyone has managed not to hear that there's a new Indiana Jones movie out. Perhaps you've even seen. I haven't. But I remember seeing the first one in 1981 and ever since I have wondered: "What happened to Indiana Jones when the submarine went down?" (dead link) Evidently I wasn't alone. Look below Click link above and find out what happened.
