Movie Reviews

Ozus' World Movie Reviews - 9/10 by Dennis SchwartzTop-notch spy thriller for the thinking man.
User Review - 10/10 by Erik WJames Mason excells as a middle-aged spy who stumbles into a conspiracy. Set against the backdrop of a seedy, rainy, distinctly non-swinging London, this features a first rate supporting cast, which includes Harry Andrews as a tough as nails copper with a weakness for animals and Lyn Redgrave and a character nick-named 'Virgin' (!)
User Review - 8/10 by Lee MIs, as it should be, chilling, dour and downbeat, but rivetingly compelling. With great performances.
User Review - 8/10 by Matthew JMoving in a lunatic pace 'The Deadly Affair' holds a competent suspense with it's great actors and Sidney Lumet at the helm. Alto not as striking as 'Before the Devil Knows You're Dead' nor as memorable as '12 Angry Men', 'The Deadly Affair' is an amusing two-hour flick you won't regret seeing.
User Review - 8/10 by Bob KIs, as it should be, chilling, dour and downbeat, but rivetingly compelling. With great performances.
User Review - 6/10 by Deadly VFaded Charm and Wasted Female Stars in this Time-Tunnel Trip to Cold War thrillers--Flawed, but still an interesting adaptation!!
User Review - 6/10 by Abhijeet RNice old fashioned British spy thriller based on a John le Carré novel, Call for the Dead. The cloak and dagger aspect of the movie is classic Le Carre,but I didn't care for the sub plot between James Mason and Harriet Andersson (seemed like it was included to sell the movie with late 60s sensibilities). Harry Andrews does a great job as inspector Mendel.
User Review - 6/10 by Private UIt's a pretty good adaptation if you like John Le Carre books.
User Review - 4/10 by Mikey MTuesday, July 19, 2011 (1967) The Deadly Affair MYSTERY/ ESPIONAGE James Mason stars as Dobbs as having a depressing life as a British agent who has a wife who can't get intimate with, lives on little money and at the same time has to investigate a so-called suicide which is more than what it appears to be! Another one of those films when the English police officers get killed because they weren't supposed to carry any fire arms as opposed to the bad guy shooting and killing many law enforcement officers before getting killed himself is something I don't care about seeing! 2 out of 4
