Movie Reviews

Ozus' World Movie Reviews - 9/10 by Dennis SchwartzA tedious effort by director and writer John Huston.
User Review - 10/10 by Jari SThe "military hospital" in this film use to be my working place in Helsinki, Finland. One of these (cold war) films where Helsinki is Russia.
User Review - 10/10 by Daniel K"The Kremlin Letter" is a Cold War spy film from director John Huston. It focuses on the story of a young American agent and a team of spies that infiltrate the Soviet Union in an attempt to recover a letter compromising to the United States. Patrick O'Neal is effective as Charles Rone, who is accepted as a spy due to his photographic memory. Also notable are Richard Boone as the genial mentor to Rone, Bibi Andersson as the desperate wife of a Soviet spy chief Kosnov and Barbara Parkins as an enchanting fellow agent. Orson Welles is solid in a minor role as a Soviet official. Veteran actor Max von Sydow has a good turn as Colonel Kosnov, a determined man with a brutal record, who organizes a "third section" of Soviet agents. This is the seediest spy story I have seen to date. Harsh tactics are used by both the Americans and Soviets and agents are expected to compromise themselves to the fullest extent in the service of their country. The story remains interesting throughout with intrigue, duplicity and twists. The pace is slow, so this film is not recommend for those looking for a James Bond style spy thriller, but rather those looking for a John le Carré type spy story in the vein of "The Spy Who Came in from the Cold".
User Review - 10/10 by Josh KNot for all tastes, but it's the best spy movie I've yet seen. Takes more than one viewing to sort it all out. I wish they'd reissue it on DVD.
User Review - 8/10 by John BSometimes bewilderingly dense, but undoubtedly one of the best spy thrillers ever produced.
User Review - 8/10 by Marilee A"Nephew, didn't anyone ever teach you Revenge Is Sweet?"There are some Great Characters To Love & to Hate in this & it's a very Original Spy Movie.I saw it on FMC so it only showed 3 Star Names to it's credit, no mention of Orson Welles or Max Von Sydow.This turned out to be a pretty great Spy Movie.I totally loved Richard Boone as Ward who used the word "Nephew" at the beginning of every sentence..
User Review - 8/10 by Walter MYou need to have your thinking cap on for this offering from master director John Huston ,which seems to have been overlooked in the directors canon but deserves to be better known ,now it s finally out on DVD. The plot has something to do with a letter which implicates America in an Anti Russian plot and the problems this letter is causing. What follows is cross and double cross,mysterious agents,with very odd codenames and loads of talking in very cold rooms. Thats not to say the film is boring ,far from it, Huston has a excellent cast who all give top grade performances including George Sanders Richard Boone and Nigel Green as part of the same spy network and Orson Welles and Max Von Sydow as rival Russian spies the film would make interesting viewing alongside The Quiller Memorandum and the Ipcress File as its one of those films which one is grateful that someone decided to give it a DVD release.
User Review - 8/10 by Gene BIt's a dirty rotten low-down movie about dirty rotten low-down people. And delicious. The plot: 5 Americans sent out to infiltrate the Moscow sex-and-drugs underworld to retrieve an incriminating document. Viewing tips: Try not to pay too much attention to the fate of the letter itself; that's just the McGuffin. I think an over-concentration on the letter is what turned off many reviewers when the movie was released. Let it go. It isn't really about the letter; it's about personal betrayal. Stories are told about the old days of espionage, of people and incidents. It's great to have a film with a rich sense of history, and this works well to provide context and atmosphere, but it's actually more than that; try to pay close attention. It'll pay off. OK, some of it's hokey around the edges; again, let it go. General notes: It's closely based on a novel by Noel Behn--descendant of Aphra Behn (d. 1698), the first woman in history to make a living playwriting. She was also a foreign spy for Charles II. Perhaps it's ironic (or genetic) that, as Wikipedia says, "[B]iographer Janet Todd noted that Behn 'has a lethal combination of obscurity, secrecy and staginess which makes her an uneasy fit for any narrative, speculative or factual. She is not so much a woman to be unmasked as an unending combination of masks'". What a cast list(!) They all give sterling performances, there are no star turns here. Using all their considerable talents, they completely inhabit their characters. But you have to give it up for the star turn by the spectacular and wonderful Richard Boone. It also has one of the best abduction scenes ever--dynamic, surprising and excruciatingly suspenseful, worthy of the best Hitchcock.
User Review - 6/10 by Art SJohn Huston's cold war spy drama is largely indecipherable (although a second viewing might clear some things up). Mostly taking place in behind closed doors in bedrooms or backrooms, spy work is portrayed as dirty business and Huston's bleak cynicism seeps into every pore. If you manage to stay alive, it would be impossible to cleanse yourself in this world. Despite its unfathomability, there are good performances from Richard Boone and Patrick O'Neal (not to mention Bibi Andersson and Max Von Sydow, on leave from Bergman; Orson Welles is too much himself) and Huston's cold mise-en-scene sort of works.
User Review - 6/10 by Orlok WSpy thriller missing in action--Huston's Unpolished Diamond!!!
