Good start, but then it gets ruined
The film was still a fun one that will make you laugh and have you leaving the theater feeling like you just stole something valuable and got away with it.
One of those movie experiences that is so good it makes you realize you've been grading everything else on a curve.
While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
Maybe 50 years ago this was something special, but not today..I went out of my way to obtain a copy based on the positive reviews and was disappointed..the music is good but not very original, being a combination of mission impossible, 007, and I Spy..the storyline of people not being who they are supposed to be is older than the movie..the amnesia ploy has been used many times in film noir..and mary tyler moore is as romantic as a celery stalk at midnight..don't bother with this one, although Alexander Knox and Louis Jordan make it passible.
One of the best "made for TV" movies ever.A clever movie and enough convolution to enjoy. Everything works in this film and I highly recommend it.I've watched it many times. I'm not a great fan of the two leads, and I don't think they work all that well together, but they're not together that much. It is great despite this.I enjoyed seeing sights again from England, where I spend a couple years of my life.It has never been released, but I have a copy I got from someone in Australia (region 4) and converted it to US (region 0). (Originally broadcasts, recorded onto VHS, then DVD.) It is worth it.
Great movie! Intelligent plot and a treasure chest of acting talent in the likes of Holloway, Howard, Naismith, et all. I saw this movie upon its release and it still rivets me to my seat. The magic of this movie whisked me away from the tedium of 1960's mid-America to the beautiful European locations on which it was shot and allowed me to escape into intrigue, suspense and danger for a few hours. This might have been considered a mid-budget level British production, but my biased opinion is that their mid level movies beat most of our A-productions in quality. It is my hope that this fine production is released on DVD very soon.
This really should be re-made today ! Its got a brilliant twist and keeps the audience guessing throughout. Louis Jordan is an excellent hero. Mary Tyler Moore is his , initially sceptic, companion. The polo match injury in hospital scene is one of those "OH yeah!" cinematic moments. I would love to see this movie released and will pay good money to get a copy. If anyone ever hears about how to get hold of a copy please contact me!!! Or simply put a review comment down here so that we can all get a copy ! I actually emailed the BBC to get this re-scheduled on TV and they said they would. Nowadays, Brad Pitt would play Louis Jordan's role and Julia Roberts could be the Mary Tyler Moor role. 10/10 Fantastic !
