The Hessen Affair (2009)

In the aftermath of 1945, Castle Kronberg, nestled beyond Frankfurt, is transformed into a luxurious 'country club' for the triumphant American officers. Amidst this opulent setting, the world-weary Colonel Jack Durant and the radiantly beautiful Lieutenant Kathleen Nash stumble upon Germany's crown jewels. A stunning array of diamonds, emeralds, rubies, sapphires and pearls, rivaling the collection in the Tower of London, is discovered. The audacious pair manage to spirit these precious gems across the Atlantic to New York City. There, they find themselves entangled in the treacherous world of gangsters and illicit dealings, desperate to offload their stolen treasure. However, their complex situation intensifies when Princess Sophie, rightful owner of the jewels, uncovers the theft and lodges a complaint with the American army headquarters. Complicating matters further, her brother, an ally during the war, is on the brink of marrying England's future queen. Caught in a dangerous web of deceit, with ruthless mobsters vying for control of the precious jewels and the relentless army hot on their trail, Durant and Nash are tested to their limits. Will their loyalty to each other and their audacious plan prevail, or will one succumb to the pressure and betray the other? In this thrilling tale of daring, deceit, and double-cross, nothing is as it seems, and everything is at stake.

The Hessen Affair is an action movie featuring Mireille Leveque and directed by Paul Breuls.
