I found this film a great disappointment. There's no denying the talent involved in the making of the film but the plot is ridiculous, the characters are unrealistic, unfunny and irritating, and the moral of the story is trite. I came expecting Capra brilliance but soon realised that I was watching a turkey. I stayed with it out of a sense of duty but could not recommend it.

Pretty nice review of a film I've loved since it was first on TV--but did you actually do a lengthy review of "Mirage" without mentioning the fantastic score by young Quincy Jones?

Sorry, no fan of Double Shock. Mrs Peck is irritating. Dagger of the Mind is one of worst ever Columbo episodes. My ranking is as follows: A Stitch in Crime The Most Crucial Game Etude in Black Requiem for a Falling Star The Greenhouse Jungle The Most Dangerous Match Double Shock Dagger of the Mind

Very good, though Ransom for a Dead Man was actually a pilot and not officially part of season one. Anyway, that said, my ranking would be: Suitable for Framing Death Lends A Hand Murder by the Book Ransom for a Dead Man Blueprint for Murder Short Fuse Lady in Waiting Dead Weight

On you tube now. Thanks for intel. 🎉

Of these All-Star mysteries, this is on the low end, but there is some fun to be had as when one actress has reason to engage in “bad acting”

thank you!! this is very useful for my film studies course, i was confused about the movie in some parts. I also loved sonia!

John Randolph is also in "Seconds," as is "Lady in Waiting's" victim Richard Anderson

Myrna Loy is wonderful in "The Best Years of Our Lives," too.

On the television series( people periodically ask Lieutenant Gerard whether he thinks Kimble murdered his wife. His response is invariably "the law says he did." Ironically, when the lieutenant's son meets Kimble, he comes away from the experience uncertain of his guilt...and more or less forces his father to admit that if Kimble is innocent, he made a mistake. (There's a two-parter with Gerard's wife and Kimble, but I don't remember what happened there.)

Ford's only Oscar nomination was for "Witness."

Well, to be fair, Richard Kimble does play characters named "Jim" a lot on "The Fugitive."

Windom, Falk and McDowall are all in "Twilight Zone" episodes.

Lupino will have a better role in "Swan Song."

Culp is the killer in three episodes and the father of a killer in the revival series ("Columbo Goes to College"). Milland also directed and starred in "Panic in Year Zero," a 1962 science-fiction story about the aftermath of a nuclear war.

"Columbo" rotated with "Hec Ramsey," "McCloud" and "McMillan and Wife." You can find the Bert Freed "Enough Rope" online. It's very entertaining, but "Prescription: Murder" is much better. I prefer the term "inverted mystery" for this genre. Blame that on R. Austin Freeman and Dr. Thorndyke.

Flippen is also in "The Killing," the Stanley Kubrick film for people who don't think they'll like Stanley Kubrick films. Ah, good, you mentioned Royal Dano!

Look for Kovacs as a more convincing villain in "Our Main in Havana."

Beyond the Poseidon Adventure, was released on May 18, 1979... ...just one week before the release of Alien on May 25, and I bet Alien destroyed the Poseidon sequel.

Verry good movie. Tin star a good movie also.

I really enjoyed your review!!! Thanks.

is it possible that anyone can provide the exact quote at the end of the movie......"So. Poirot is right. Halloween (?) is not so much the night to tell scary stories. Rather, it is the night to remember the dead..." (from memory).....any help??? Exact quote if you can. Thanks.!

One of my favorite movies!

Mrs. Croft doesn’t have a short haircut; you can see long curls on her shoulder in the dinner scene.

I love this adaptation, however a couple of things bother me; 1) Elizabeth is supposed to be beautiful with beautiful manners, not slouchy and shouty, 2) the changing of Mr. Elliot’s motivations.

Good review. I enjoyed all the Poirot series with David Suchet from the beginning. This is my favorite that I like to watch around Halloween.

Pauline Kael, by the way, had one problem with this film, the score, by Max Steiner...I couldn't believe it; but there's always at least one thing about every film she disses...oh, well...

First movie filmed on location; and you can feel the heat, say, when they're hacking their way through the jungle, down near Tampico...it's makes a huge difference, I think...

The US President's favorite movie!

Is it a good Poirot movie ... Mhe.. but if you watch it as just a stand alone thing it's not bad! Wierd 😅 I hated the previous two

Best movie,hands down !

Thank you for this channel...as a Western collector and wild West show member I love it ! This movie is under rated, but a classic ! I also recommend Rawhide,with Tyrone Power

Men who complain about other men preferring younger women . . . are inexperienced.

In candidate for crime the firecracker remains bothered me and the bullet to the ballistics lab and then the ballistics report in under three hours in 1973 made me roll my eyes. I guess he really has someone downtown willing to drop every other case just for him to rush back and catch the murderer. This episode was too long and dragged for me at the end. But, I would still give it 3.5 out of 5.

I agree this is a great movie and does justice to a wonderful book

Got a source where we can watch it? Or just rent it or buy it?

Great review... dont think I've seen this but got in on DVD - jOHN wAYNE Colllection....going to watch it now and come back to comment later

Love these old Ford movies.

Didn't know this director did so much Gunsmoke, but I know he did a couple of Alister Mclean movies.

So glad I found this channel....going to watch all your videos

The evidence doesn't need to lead to a conviction. What it does lead to is a confession, which is all you need.

Rigor is only temporary. It sets in at a certain number of hours after death and then goes away after a certain amount of time.

I think that Steve McQueen's FINEST scene is when he says: "You're crazy. You'll kill everybody up there." McQueen's character cares deeply about the people who might be drowned, if the risky flooding plan is implemented. You can hear it in his character's voice.

Next time you watch Paul Newman climbing up the torn up, stair railing, keep in mind that Paul Newman used to do 500 sit ups a day. He must have done push ups, as well!

I think that, originally, Steve McQueen was offered the architect role, but he wanted the fire chief role.

I agree that the lesbian subplot was unnecessary, but I guess they had to find a reasoning for her murder. And Mrs Goodbody was by far the best character with her I-don't-give-a-damn attitude. Rowena Drake didn't have a single trace of dark charisma that would render all those murders sensible in her head.

A while back I watched this film for the 2nd time then recently I’ve been watching early 70s Columbos. “Keyes” constantly smoked a cigar, was totally obsessive about solving cases, so much so that he was considered unkempt by 40s standards. His boss got on him about not wearing a suit coat once. Something Keyes was too preoccupied to care about. I wonder if the creators of Columbo had this guy in the back of their minds.

Please do a review on The Wild Geese. You'll probably get a panic attack when you hear all that un-PC racial talk in South Africa!

John Wayne. 1973 firebird A Mc10 submachine gun. Elmer Bernstein soundtrack. This is a very good gritty 1970s police action flick.
