Andre Malraux
The whole movie, in HD and with english subtitles, here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sfKdh4wCaFg .
The images from the beginning of the movie are real 1945 images from Romania, from news movies of that year.
The ruins you can see in these footages and also in the movie are buildings destroyed by the allied bombers in 1944, when Romania was Germany's ally, and by german bombers after 23 August 1944, when Romania changed the camp. On some walls, you will see an A in a circle. It's the sign which indicates an anti-aircraft shelter.
Great reconstitution of 1945 Bucharest (we always had the nostalgia of pre-1947 period, when Romania still was a self-ruled, pro-west, non-communist, normal country), great action, great jazz music, composed for the movie by Richard Oschanitzky (1939 - 1979), and, of course, great cars.
Sergiu Nicolaescu, the director (who also plays the main character, the police commissioner Tudor Miclovan), died on 3 January 2013, at 82 years old.
The revolver he uses in the movie is a Smith & Wesson Model 1917 (.45 ACP): http://www.imfdb.org/wiki/M1917_Revolver .
