Movie Reviews of Morituri
Movie Review: Never heard of this film until NOW, quite a good movie
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm among many that have never heard of this film, and I guess it didn't do too well on release, but it came on TCM last night and I almost clicked away but decided to check it out. Hard to believe, for me, but I was on the edge of my seat throughout this film. It certainly tried to be a 'The Third Man', in not only the photography, plot, and especially the music (not disguised at all, in my opinion), and it's certainly NOT 'The Third Man'....but this is a movie that more should see....very fine performances by Brando and Brynner, as well as Janet Margolin. A bit slow, I would guess, to some, but really well put together, and it kept me drawn to it to the end. Highly recommended!Movie Review: A strange movie but very good film-noir
Summary: 5 Stars
Here we have a non-typical WW II film where a man is recruited by the British authorities to sabotage a German submarine. Marlon Brando shines in this unique role.
On the sub, Jewish shipwrecked (by the sub) captives are brought on board, ironically complicating Brando's task. Yul Brynner makes a great German submarine commander!
There something about this film that personalizes it to the viewer, unlike most others where (unless you were there!) we're outside, looking in. In any case, there's a Catholic darkness about the entire film.
I recommend this one for anyone interested in high drama and/or World War II.
Movie Review: Explosive war cocktail: Brando and Brynner
Summary: 5 Stars
I've never seen this movie before, and it engaged me from the begining. I remember some comments from my father, (a Mr. Brando's fan) many years ago about Morituri and the strong perfomances of both actors there.
My father passed away in 2003. He was right about Morituri.
Now, talking a little bit about the DVD, it'll satisfy all your quality requirements, even when the sound is not so good as you'd like. All the features are good enough, at least for me. Morituri deserves to be bought by every war films fan or, even more, for every Mr. Brando's or Mr. Brynner's fan.
Movie Review: No separate peace
Summary: 5 Stars
In this brilliant espionage action drama, two men are seeking a separate peace with fascism - one through attempting neutrality, one through attempting blind nationalism, both by avoiding a clear decision for either side. Neither seems willing to be honest with themselves. They both must face their denial and the fact that they must choose. Two cynical realists have to decide what is worth believing in. Along the way is edge-of-your-seat action, intense drama, and thrilling espionage.Movie Review: Morituri DVD
Summary: 5 Stars
I absolutely love this movie! Even though it's a little naive and not as spectacular as some of the modern military films. Morituri is a well-done WW2 movie with excellent actors, one of them is my favorite - Yul Brynner. Marlon Brando is also great!
