EXCELLENT BRITISH POLITICAL THRILLER MOVIE FOR YOU ALL STAR CAST ❤❤ #subscribe #movie #movies #film #cinema #foryou #mustwatch #love #history #youtube #share
In 1986, just 40 years ago, news copy was produced by typewriter, telephones were land lines, women who worked were generally in support roles, & politicians caught in a scandal felt obliged to resign. Having lived through the 80’s I find the subsequent pace of technological and social change extraordinary, of mixed results, and somewhat frightening. The dark under belly of power, however, remains as constant as hell.
It does but we have also lost the protection of those that have done nothing wrong. Unfortunately sleazy sticks no matter if there are any facts to support it or not.
I appreciated seeing Ian Bannen here. He had a key role in the series "Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy, as well as other movies. This is a first rate production. Thanks to You Tube.
Back in 1986 people read, and believed, what newspapers reported. Now, very few people do either. I'm not sure the newspapers have changed; rather, we have.
Yea, all the news media was always full of shite mate... we learnt the lessons well and dont trust any of the fuckerz with the global lies and bullshit.
@joannajennings3899 It is problematic, those that support Trump and Brexit mostly consist of small minded bigots with a tablespoon of aggression thrown in discussions are impossible and they are manipulated by those in the right wing media, the level of discussion on channels such as GB News is unbelievable no doubt in a similar vein as fox news..
I saw this movie many years ago. I will enjoy watching it once again. A short history of Britain 's secrets legislation. In 1889, the Official Secrets Act provided criminal sanctions for breaches of the law. In 1911, the law was updated and broadened to include criminal penalties for obtaining or disclosure of information without authorization. In 1989, the law created offenses for the unlawful disclosure of official information by government employees. It removed the public interest defense. The Defense of the Realm Act of 1914 (DORA) gave the government wide-ranging powers during the war period. It could requisition land and buildings for the war effort. It could make regulations creating criminal offenses. Now, although this film is fiction, it uses actual events that occurred. Two nuclear incidents did occur around nuclear bombs being damaged in 1956 and 1961. These events were concealed and not revealed until decades later in 2003. There was a sexual scandal known as the Profumo affair in 1961 involving a Russian spy and a British politician involved with the same woman. Now my question is do you think the 2 people who revealed the cover up survived? They don't show the reporter in the last scenes. Perhaps they were hospitalized or out of the country. What do you think?
One of the best British spy thrillers I have seen. Great actors also. Certainly a film that keeps you in suspense front beginning to end. Thanks Scottie for sharing this.
Fab film - a more innocent era when shame could kill a political career. BoJo slipping away from his security detail for a Tuscan weekend away with a Russian oligarch is a scandal that surpasses this film’s plot.
What a horrendous story brought to life by some excellent actors. It brings to the surface the theory that life is oxygen to many and the ultimate of creation is, in fact, death.
🤪😜😝😛😛😋. Don't forget the Americans and Russians and Polish and French and German and Italian Actor's too! and some Japanese! Actor's as well that too!!! These people's they're Also very good excellent Actor's Movies Actor's!!! That too!!!! Lol
Its an absolute classic in morality of the services and government at the highest level and how they operate and control the media. Brilliant. I watch it several times a year.
@@jameswebb4593 well she was very young… I actually saw her in other movies and she did have her clothes on! Beautiful woman even in her mature age!♥️Actually she smiled at me in the Kings Road in London…years ago!
@@jameswebb4593 She apparently turned down the role of Catherine Tramell in Basic Instinct because she was fed up with always being invited to play a male fantasy. So Sharon Stone took her clothes off for that one!
@@robincutti4596 "Actually she smiled at me in the Kings Road in London…years ago!" Lucky you. I always hope never to meet famous people whose work I like just in case they turn out to be a someone you wouldn't want to meet and it affects your future enjoyment of their work.
I haven't seen this in such a long time Scottie too Hottie, great film, thank you for sharing. Also, I am unsure if you will post any films between now, Christmas and New Years so I just want to say Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and yours.
Hi hello there. I'm watching this Movie now 📺👀🎬📽️🎞️☝️🎬📽️🎞️🎭⭐🎭⭐🎭⭐🔥💥👍. I wish you Best Wishes in New Year 2025. Happy New Year 2025! 🎄☃️❄️🌟🎊🎉🎆🎇🥳🥳👍. Thank you. 2 nd January 2025
Did the escaped prisoner get squashed by the plane, or was he supposed to have been captured and bumped off to keep it a secret about the crashing plane ?
the whole movie seems "edited" in the name of mystery, with many byways that we don't know if there is any connection Names and places are all confusing.
@@divingfe Yes, i know what you mean. I've watched other films and television where it looks to me as if they have a 'shorter' story/idea, and then try and 'fill it out' by 'inserting' sub-stories, just adding more to make it look like there's more going on. In this story,
Only because the industry changed dramatically not long afterwards it could be quite 'quaint' as an industry as there were so many aspects from big business to press. It was pivotal to public life now it barely exists
@ Another respondent advised me it's Pachelbel's Canon in D Major. Composer is Johann Pachelbel, and a "Cannon" is a "round" - a song/music form in which three to five voices simultaneously sing a simple melody in unison or octaves starting at different times, often with each performer beginning two measures after the previous singer.
@@ScottieMcClue It is, although I prefer the slower version of the piece used in the 1980 movie Bad Timing, also featuring Mr Denholm Elliott from this movie in a scene with Theresa Russell.

Again, excellent movie. Makes one wonder about they unseen workings of the powers that be . Thanks Scottie😁
So much talent, so many excellent actors. Thank you, UK, for the experience.
A Pleasure 🙏 ☺️

Fantastic film, love it when it came out - great to see it again - Thank you for the upload

London in the 80's. Before it started resembling an outpost of Afghanistan. So much better.
@@theruminator7419 you forget history that the British empire was evil and caused so much suffering in countless countries so be quiet!
Have you seen the outpost of Afghanistan?
Please do not leave out Pakistan.....
@@farshidehnasrin4284 We don’t need to its come to us.
Timeless class. Denholm Elliot is fantastic.
With this film he became the only actor to this day to have won three consecutive BAFTA awards for best supporting actor.
Brilliant depiction of what really went on at the time 😢
And still does, truth be known
Yet another excellent film.What unalloyed pleasure I feel sitting down to view these films knowing I will absolutely enjoy them .Thank you.
A Great Pleasure 🙏 ☺️
Great old British thriller, good old season actors 😮
Absolutely 💯
Good film..the state makes insects of us..
I am no conspiracy theorist but totally agree. Insects, yes... And at no time more than now. What is going on out there is chilling.

And when he knew they watched him through window!

Excellent Movie 🎬
When was this released? Anyone?
1986
Wow !!!!! do you know where yer caps lock key is ????
I RESPOND TO MANY PLATFORMS CAPS ARE EASIER
@@ScottieMcClue cool.
Thank You 💯 😊 🙏
Did the escaped prisoner get squashed by the plane, or was he supposed to have been captured and bumped off to keep it a secret about the crashing plane ?
The latter

@@divingfetotally agree
The rather quaint depiction of a national newspaper hasn't aged well.
Only because the industry changed dramatically not long afterwards it could be quite 'quaint' as an industry as there were so many aspects from big business to press.
It was pivotal to public life now it barely exists
What is that piece of music playing at 1.04 .00 ?
@@Baskerville22 pachebel. Canon in D major, may not be correct spelling but hey- done my best, it's a favourite at weddings, hope this helps.
@@poppaleggansquat3640 Thanks
I believe it is by Johan Sebastian Bach.
@ Another respondent advised me it's Pachelbel's Canon in D Major. Composer is Johann Pachelbel, and a "Cannon" is a "round" - a song/music form in which three to five voices simultaneously sing a simple melody in unison or octaves starting at different times, often with each performer beginning two measures after the previous singer.
but why Pachelbel
It's very effective as a piece
@@ScottieMcClue It is, although I prefer the slower version of the piece used in the 1980 movie Bad Timing, also featuring Mr Denholm Elliott from this movie in a scene with Theresa Russell.
Another "film" to befuddle" the truths.. be very afraid of 'government'
An excellent and very enjoyable film. Probably only skating the surface of the realities of political turpitude in the yUK.
