Movie Reviews of The Man Who Never Was
Movie Review: It's out on dvd .hurrah
Summary: 5 Stars
I had been waiting for years for this gem of a
movie to make it to dvd.What stands out for me
is the brilliant British mind that could have
conceived of such an ingenious idea.Knowing that
this is a true story really packs a powerful
punch while you are watching it.This however
is not the only great British movie about a
true ww2 plot.If you enjoyed this movie then
I think you will also truly enjoy
" I Was Monty's Double".The actor who plays
field marshall Montgomery in the movie is the
actor who really was the double for Montgomery
during ww2.His name was Clifton James and he
wrote a book ( I Was Monty's Double) about his experience of pretending
to be Monty during ww2.This movie however is currently
only available on dvd at Amazon U.K.
Movie Review: The Photography
Summary: 5 Stars
I saw this movie in a movie house the year it was released in the U.S.A. As I recollect viewing the movie, it was released in the Cinemascope format; essentially a "Letter Box" format. The DVD format starts with a letter box introduction, but then switches to the "Pan and Scan" format. For myself, I find the visual impact I remember of the movie has been lost by using the Pan & Scan format. Every scene looks like it was shot using telephoto lenses, giving the visual effect of always seeing a "Close-up"; it feels like reading a book only four inches away from your eyes. The breadth of the scenes has been lost, significantly diminishing the visual parts of the film. They should re-issue it in letter box format - I would be happy to buy a letter box version.Movie Review: The Man who never was
Summary: 5 Stars
Here is a story true in every way of zeal & desperation, when the world was tearing itself apart. Here was a team dedicated to the overthrow of Hitlers Europe, in order to achive this they had to create a ingenous deception in order that a foothold onto the continent of Europe could be achieved.
Britain had stood alone & had taken much from Hitlers might. The story is set around the death of a young scotsman who in death becomes the central player with the help of his supporting cast weave a brilliant plan of action without a gun being fired.This is a must watch movie though dated it has everything holding you to the end & yes the children can watch & learn of what did happen & must never happen again.
Movie Review: One of the ten best spy movies
Summary: 5 Stars
The movie is based on a real story. During WWII, the British tried to fool the Nazis about the places and times of the Allied invasions. The deception about the invasion in Normandy is told in Eye of the Needle and the deception about the invasion of Sicily is the subject of this film. The idea is to let the Germans discover the body of a courier carrying false letters. Stephen Boyd, a fantastic actor who died very young plays the dangerous and seducing Irish spy trying to verify if the story is authentic. A fantastic and bizarre movie.Movie Review: A wonderful, stirring movie we purchased
Summary: 5 Stars
We had seen this movie at least 4 times before purchasing a DVD for ourselves.
It is an excellent movie, captivating, interesting, and, best of all, true. We shall continue to view it on a monthly basis, for sure (perhaps more often), plan to show it to others.
The acting is extremely well done, and the plot keeps you pinned to what is going on. Even when we view it again, there is the same attention, as if we had not seen it before.
Surely it is a remarkable movie, and we would highly recommend it for one and all...excellent for a family.
