Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Uniquely low-key spy film, written by Harold Pinter, with Alec Guinness. Enough said!
Well, almost....

I had never seen this before yesterday, and having lived in Berlin in the 1990s, I love seeing that town on film in any period. It's mostly West Berlin here, and it's a treat to see; few films use this much of their home city, and if you like that incomparable town you'll love watching it in Quiller.

I found Segal to be better than usual, less glib and more appealingly serious at points, and Senta Berger a fine romantic foil (and just plain fine). Guinness ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - The Quiller Memorandum
It's what you expect a espionage story to be intriquing and suspenseful, however; it wasn't as thrilling as the Jason Bourne and Harry Palmer series but more realistic than the James Bond fantasy of sex and gadgets.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - DECADE OF THE SPY STORIES


Starting with the 007 books by Ian Fleming in the 1950's continuing for at least another decade or so, one can view those years as a decade of the spy novels. Near the top of any list of spy books were those written by Adam Hall (Elleston Trevor 1920-1995) which comprised the best selling "Quiller" series of books. Using the pen name "Adam Hall", Elleston Trevor wrote 19 novels all concerning the Quiller character and his career. Two standout features of Quiller was that he worked alone, ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Formula spy stuff but very well done
Imagine two great armies in a fog. Each looking for the other's HQ.
In the middle is Quiller who must get close enough to the enemy to signal the location of their HQ but not give way the location of his.

Modern day Germany (1960's) we see a resurgence of citizens that want the country to be strong. A hand full of citizens is acting on those sentiments. Seems the British Intelligence Pol (Alec Guinness) is a little queasy. They want to identify these people apparently lead by someone called ... Read More



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - very poor
I bought this based on the actors. This is early in their careers and they do a poor performance. The audio commentary is equally poor. I am an amateur historian of this period and found the commentators very ill informed. I agree with the commentators that this should have been in black and white.

As far as the quality of the script, it is no where near that of The Third Man or The Spy Who Came in From the Cold.

It is one of many poor me toos cashing in on the success of early spy ... Read More
