    I first saw this in the theater in 1974 as a teenager, and it has resonated with me ever since then. The last part of the movie, from Omar Sharif sneaking the "Blue File" out of the embassy to the gun battle on the beach in Barbados, was fast paced, suspenseful and dramatic.
    Even though I already knew how the movie would end, I actually cried this time when I saw Julie Andrews' reaction to finding out that Omar Sharif was still alive. I didn't expect that reaction on my part, and it really speaks to the quality of her acting and the rest of the cast in this and other movies that I grew up with in the 1960s and 70s.

      @@yashodadevi9287 Thank you for posting your question. I didn't understand what you meant so I looked back and saw my Nn, still don't understand why I did that - I've deleted it. I first saw the film about a year ago and loved it. I'm a very amateur singer and when asked whose voice I admire the most, the answer is Julie Andrews. I am very sad the operation ruined her vocal chords and ask myself to this day how does she come to terms with it? Her interview about it made me know she is as sweet as the characters she played; think Mary Poppins 😊. My first childhood crush was Omar Sherrif - I thought him so cool that he lived in the Ritz for a few years but never could master bridge - he was a world champion for a time. The film itself? I was always a sucker for love and I learned about the tamarind seed at the same time. Sorry for the lengthy reply - just wanted to put the record straight.

      I remember that too! It wasn't a big hit at all --- can you imagine?! Your mom was probably right, Julie Andrews was a versatile actress but, post-Sound of Music, I think her popularity waned. Or perhaps appeared to; many of us still loved seeing her but Hollywood's style shifted (not for the better) and the executive honchos considered her "irrelevant" or some such nonsense!

      I’ll bet this film did well in Britain. Americans were too removed from the Cold War to relate to this. I was in high school when this film came out. We were all about Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, Robert Redford, Jack Nicholson, etc., very American films. Cold War intrigue in Europe did not intrigue us at that time. Check out Three Days of the Condor and Chinatown for great American films from the 70’s.

    What a gem. Thank you for posting this incredible elegant masterpiece of “romantic-spy” movie.
    I think I’ve must have heard before about this movie, but shame on me for not watching this before. A time when ppl truly created elaborated and very well constructed plots. Unfortunately nowadays, Hollywood seems to be plagued for ppl who barely knows how to write to “create” ( mostly borrowing from old movies) scripts that vaguely resembles a plot or storytelling. It’s all about explosions, gore and a LOT of sex, vulgarity and violence....
    Watching a movie nowadays its like eating a meal without any salt, pepper and sauce...and mostly without any juicy steak on it.
    The Tamarind Seed is a testament that a good well written plot with a few great and capable actors can be very charming, suspenseful and very entertaining. Unfortunately 90% that are thrown in the theaters will never get even close to the good flicks of the past,
    Good thing we still have youtube to dig for some forgotten pearls from the past.

    THe cast were superb but the whole movie hung on every move of her soft and inviting lips.
    Well done for sharing, thank you.

    • @helenlauer9545
      @helenlauer9545 4 года назад +5

      I admire her too very much . . . but 'eloquent'? She's an actress; she's reading lines, so how can she be praised for being eloquent? Do you mean elegant? She is certainly incredibly elegant.
      Unless you are referring to her demeanor off camera - but in interviews she always seemed so down to earth and girl-next-door, almost self effacing. Eloquent would be maybe Katherine Hepburn, who was very self-deprecating in the most pointed, socially conscientious way and immensely educated therefore articulate, but never full of airs, very frank, intimidatingly so, and utterly facile in her self expression -- or Jane Fonda, who was extremely influential and clear in her activism. Or Meryl Streep. But Julie Andrews? Like Judy Garland, she just seemed so down to earth and sweet, and rather disarming in her simplicity -- almost studiously plain speaking. Eloquent? Hardly. It would spoil her style.
