Michael Caine and Laurence Olivier in a film about spies and the secret service should have been right up my street - but sad to say I was disappointed when I saw the film.Quote:

Classic sci-fi.. still holds up as class, special effects aside; and the effects are fairly good for the day.
And a damned sight better than the remake.
Ah yes the remake in name only. If you took it as a film by itself it was not bad. Just bad when compared to the original. Kennau Reeves I think or some such name,Quote:

Not sure again why this didn't work. Surefire cast and story. Not sure whether it was way it was filmed.. Just didn't sound convincing either. Odd how that happens.Quote:

Terrible actress though but then it was the thirties and there was loads of dramatic effect acting going on. Joel McCrae had to drag her round the swamp but as soon as they got to the jungle bit and the dogs were after them she turned into Usain Bolt :lol:Quote:
