Customer Reviews

Excellent Spy Story
This is almost like a documentary in telling the story of the CIA taking a Russian defector to safety back in the 60s. It gives a good background on what the spy game was like then and an in depth look at the workings of the CIA at the time. This is not nail-biting action, but a good overall look at the spy business in a more intellectual study. I recommend it to those that enjoy spy novels the most and I think that even those that enjoy the James Bond action movies may find it interesting. Great performances by Yul Brynner and Henry Fonda.

Spy vs Spy
Better than average Cold War "Spy vs. Spy" thriller....good cast and story line.......Caution...much of the background conversations are in foreign languages...French, Russian, etc....there are subtitles but don't expect all the dialog to be in English....otherwise it's a good flick..!!

A Big Lie, not as advertised. The movie is mostly in FRENCH!!!
Even if you select "English" for the voice track, the movie is 80% in FRENCH with English subtitles. Neither Yul Brynner nor Henry Fonda is the leading actor, as one might expect, but rather the actor most prominently appearing in the movie is a French Secret Service man played by Philippe Noiret. What English is not in subtitles, is dubbed in. This is a very poorly produced movie, made for a French audience, with only token support for English speakers, as you can expect from the French snobs.
