Despite its exotic WWII locations, Guy Hamilton's Man in the Middle is a courtroom drama with Robert Mitchum as a military lawyer urged by his superiors to cover up the facts behind a civilian murder committed by a military officer. Set in 1944 India, Mitchum plays a lieutenant colonel assigned to defend American soldier Keenan Wynn after he murders a British civilian; Mitchum quickly discovers that everyone involved in the case, from top general Barry Sullivan to British medical officer Alexander Knox, wants him to fall in line with a rush to execute Wynn and save face, despite his obvious insanity. Mitchum is typically solid in the lead, and the supporting cast, which includes France Nuyen as his semi-love interest and Sam Wanamaker as an army psychiatrist, offer fine performances; Hamilton, who would direct Goldfinger the following year, handles the legal fireworks with finesse. The DVD includes the original trailer as well as a gallery of promotional photographs (which play up the barely-there romance between Mitchum and Nuyen). -- Paul Gaita

"Man In The Middle" (1964) is arguably Mitchum's best performance (certainly his most nuanced) and one of those situations where you can't imagine anyone else in the role. Although the focus is a "military" court martial in India during the last months of WWII, it is basically a standard courtroom drama with Mitchum's character playing the defense counsel. The actual proceeding is very similar to that shown in "The Caine Mutiny" (1954). With a running length of just 93 minutes and a relatively complex ... Read More

From the opening credits, "Man in the Middle" had all the appearance of a mojor production. The televized version I saw was even in the full screen mode. The sets, the location and, to a lesser extent, the actors seemed to suggest that this was one of the studio's higher budgetted projects for the year. As it turned out, the direction was far superior to the script and the end result was much ado about nothing. "Man in the Middle" struck me as an unashamed attempt to recreat "The Caine Muitiny". Although ... Read More

I have always been a fan of Robert Mitchum and have never seen him in a bad picture; until now. "The Enemy Below" and "Heaven Knows Mister Allison" rank amongst my favorite all time movies. When I saw the supporting cast I was sure it must be a very good film. It isn't. The direction is terrible.
In the first part of the film it is difficult to tell whether Mitchum is dedicated to providing the best defense that he can or just protecting his career by "going through the motions". I would guess ... Read More

This was a very good movie starring Robert Mitchum in a great performance. This drama was very well made with a very good story.
Rating: -
It starts out with a fairly interesting premise: even an insane bigot deserves a fair trial. Along the way we're supposed to loathe both the nut-case defendant and the military men who, for some mysterious reason (we never discover it) are trying to hang the guy fast-and-get-it-over-with (something about him embarrassing Our Cause). Whatever. Total bloviation (not a dictionary word, but you get the point). Mitchum looks like he's about to burp up his dinner. He was not at his best here. That wig or whatever ... Read More
