Even though I was already aware of Christie, that still didn't prepare me for how absolutely chilling Attenborough was in this film. Christie was very much someone you would pass in the street, and not look twice at. And then there is the gross mishandling of the case by the police, leading to one of the worst miscarriages of justice in British history.
Very good film, there was a really good TV drama of the story too, with a chilling central performance from Tim Roth!
My annual watch ( on a very cold evening yesterday...added to the atmosphere 😀) of Brian G. Huttons stellar WW2 action blockbuster! This is a movie I would have loved to have seen originally in the Cinema! It's a firm favourite of mine. Great story ( with a nice twist!) fabulous alpine setting ( and I'm not talking about Ingrid Pitt 😉) terrific cast, Burton and Eastwood ( and Michael Hordern, one of my top character actors!) though Mary Ure, brought on board at the recommendation of Burton, is weak and wooden, spectacular action and stunts, the final 40 mins is just breathlessly exciting, all wrapped up with a rousing Ron Goodwin score! Love it!
Just finished it. Absolutely fascinating, yet a bit hormonally simplistic. A very mixed bag- excellent female nudity, but no guys? The message of the film seems to be a lack of honesty (with others & one's self) causes trouble, but would truth be any better? There were really great moments, but I feel like it was a lesser effort in his total portfolio. But OMG the sublime female nudity! If I were a straight woman or a gay man I might not have had as positive a reaction to this film....
Well, yes. Plenty of nudity. There's that. I'm honestly glad you call the film a lesser effort in Kubrick's portfolio. Gives me hope that if and when you revisit the film someday, you'll discover things that may have escaped your notice. Or not. (It is not generally considered one of Kubrick's best.)
