Movie Reviews of The Prisoner
Movie Review: An Electrifying Drama
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie, now 52 years old, is a still classic in every sense. It tells the story of a situation painfully similar to the real ordeal involving Cardinal Mindzenty. The dedication of the Cardinal (Guinness) to his post is valiant and the unending attack by the accuser (Hawkins) is engrossing. Guinness and Hawkins were 2 of the finest actors in the past century and they rose to peak performances in this work. PLUS all of the background represented the prevailing atmosphere in parts of post- WWII Europe very well.
Summary of The Prisoner
Alec Guinness stars as an outspoken cardinal from an Eastern Bloc country who?s jailed for his rebellious beliefs and subjected to the relentless interrogation of a psychologist (Jack Hawkins). After months of grilling, Hawkins finally finds a crack in Guinness?s façade.Similar DVD Movies
