Description:
With little else to help him beyond sharp wits, a strong will and a very dedicated schoolteacher, American spy Quiller (Segal) combs West Berlin for the headquarters of a shadowy neo-Nazi movement. Closing in on one disturbing truth, he quickly learns another: he is not the pursuer, but the prey – in a rapidly closing trap!

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 ... Read More

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 ... Read More

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 ... Read More

Maybe the most subtle spy film ever made, certainly one of the most artful. You really need to pay attention to the undercurrents. Watch the very first scene. Pay attention when the same scene recurs. Everything you need to know is there. This could have been a marvelous series. (They made two Flint films and four Matt Helms and they couldn't make a second Quiller?)
The Profs on the commentary track think this is a classic example of cold war cinema. Odd, as it concerns an American agent ... Read More

There's enough written here by others on the merits of this film, which has been sadly neglected over the years, so I won't waste time with that except to say that it's one of my favorites. I just want to add that I thought the picture transfer very disappointing. They obviously didn't spend much time doing the kind of restoration work they could have. I doubt if even much of a digital teak here and there was done. The image looks generally soft, with muted color and often unstable blacks. So, the DVD isn't ... Read More
