Leave your thoughts about The Chairman.
| User ReviewLorraine Gthese old movies carry great stories and history...sorry so many aren`t known anymore...some really good stuff |
| User ReviewAndré DGregory Peck protagoniza este magnifico thriller politico encarnando a un cientifico que debe ingresar a la China comunista para apoderarse de una enzima que permite el cultivo de alimento en cualquier tipo de clima. El problema radica en que esta envuelto en la codicia de tres gobiernos (Estados Unidos, Rusia y China) y ademas tiene un explosivo incrustado en su cabeza sin saberlo. Una cinta atipica de la epoca que critica tanto a los regimenes comunistas y capitalistas y que en su tercer acto da una leccion de lo que es el suspenso. |
| User ReviewBen BInteresting plot line with a lot of politics, a bit of a thriller and a touch of sci-fi. In some ways what the Chairman said about China is prescient yet ironic. Instead to dominating the world with an enzyme, China ended up as the largest creditor. Seeing Gregory, a mighty Liberal during his life, mouthing the pros of democratic capitalism is jaunting! |
| User ReviewJohn MMaybe one of Gregory Peck's most unknown and forgettable films, and rightfully so. The plot is like a James Bond plot but even more absurd and taking itself too seriously. And there's absolutely no sense of escapism or splendor. |
| User ReviewMelissa MInteresting movie, but one totally unnecessary part we had to skip. |
| User ReviewFrank MDisappointing espionage caper promises a lot more than it delivers. Even the twist of having a bomb implanted in the protagonist's head fails to provide any thrills. |
