God, what an awful movie!
1989 doesn't seem all that long ago, what a different world we experienced, the 70s,80s and 90s, can't imagine how the older gens see today, must be heartbreaking what's become of society.
Society has gone down the pan in a handcart , Im69 and it seems to get worse every day . Tech wise we might be ahead but the average intelligence level has plummeted
@@UserUser-ww2nj Every generation seems to think the nonsense you do....and they are always wrong.
@@Steelmage99 Try watching some of the street interviews . Watched one a while ago and people were saying that Portugal was in South America plus the average American does not know how many stars there on their flag and it's not just Americans but it seems to be worse there than anywhere else
@@UserUser-ww2nj Street interviews? That's your argument?
Sigh....maybe you are right. People like you _do_ seem less intelligent these days....
Yes indeed
R.I.P. George Segal who died March 23 of this year at the age of 87. I always liked Mr. Segal.
I'll 2nd that.
@@fokkerd3red618 So will I.
I recall an old movie of George Segal 'King Rat" Brilliant War Crime Movie.
@@hendrikasunqrout571 Yes, I remember that.
I didn't know about his passing after complications from bypass surgery and I present here my humble respects to a consistently 1st class actor and entertainer. Hey Pops, we will miss your banjo playing and your infectious laugh!
Brilliant script, written and directed by Bryan Forbes, who also wrote the novel. Bryan Forbes was an English film director, screenwriter, film producer, actor and novelist described as a "Renaissance man" and "one of the most important figures in the British film industry". Forbes also wrote and directed Kim Stanley and Richard Attenborough in "Seance on a Wet Afternoon", George Segal in "King Rat", Alan Bates and Hayley Mills in "Whistle Down the Wind." He was a prolific writer and producer, who was the first head of EMI Films, the British Government's attempt to revive the failing film industry. All his films feature great classic dramatic writing, without the use of special effects or explicit sexual or violent content. Good actors flocked to work for him.
Quite right. - thank you for this information for the benefit of a younger generation. But you forgot to mention also that Bryan Forbes' wife (of a very long-standing and happy marriage), the beautiful classically-trained actress Nanette Newman, also appeared in many of his films - including this one !
Thank you for these details and the concise summary of Forbes's work. I have seen King Rat (1965) which also featured George Segal. I am now prompted to see more of this director's work.
@@colinphillips7016 He also directed other strange films : The L-Shaped Room and The Stepford Wives
( that featured his wife Nanette Newman )
His daughter was a TV presenter in the 90s and I remember she did a show called talking telephone numbers. She presented it with Philip scofield, but I don't know why Emma forbes quit TV.
What a fabulous cast …they don’t make them like this anymore……Mainly English actors of course….Thank you for this …..
Those days!! Albert Finney, Alan Bates, Tom Courtney and the girls, Julie Christie, Shirley Anne Field, June Ritchie, Rita Tushingham. A golden era for British Films.
ABSOLUTE;Y !
Fabulous cast. In addition to Finney, Segal and Thomas there was also Anthony Quayle and Ian Holme.
Great movie and cast. The music by Ennio Morricone superb as always.
Fabulous actors, fine voices. You can tell what they are saying. End or near end of an era, I’m sorry to say
i'm an actor and I work on diction and voice quality with my film roles. Hope this kind of acting continues
A Good Watch. This and others like it: Quiller Memorandum, Tinker Tailor, Smileys People, Spy Who Came in From The Cold, Ipcress Files, Funeral In Berlin, Billion Dollar Brain are tops in their Genre. Have to say favorite is Burton in Spy Who Came In From The Cold. The grainy black and white nastiness of in your face close ups of Burton and his cynical/nasty delivery of his lines is worth the watch. Thanks for posting this great movie.
I saw The Spy Who Came in from the cold maybe in 1966 when I was 8 .
Of course depressing to an American girl but I guess it was around then that my mother really started explaining more about the Iron Curtain countries to me .
I know I had heard that phrase when I was five or six but it wasn't until I saw that movie I had a better understanding of people willing to risk getting shot to risk living in freedom .
Adam Hall, Le Carre , Deighton. no one writes like them anymore either. Great films, great writers.
You know it is going to be good when Albert Finney and George Segal are in it! Brill!
Interesting how the word "good" has changed usage from "that with furthers the intention of the Creator" to "that which seduces us into taking our mind off of the Creator".
@@trukeesey8715 get over youself Tru!
@@fionastevenson6019 That's a way of refusing to look at the truth of the statement. Why turn a "blind eye" and simultaneously cast false blame on another? Why be a false person, rather than a true one?
@@trukeesey8715 it is a brilliant film. Nothing more. I was commenting on the great actors.
@@trukeesey8715 once again, get over yourself. Stop being so pretentious
I agree this beats out an old james bond flick any day. Thank you for sharing this espionage gem!
Great film. Albert Finney brilliant as usual. Rip.Brian Forbes similar genre to Le Carre and Deighton. Only the Brits can write truly convincing, full of intrigue, spy stories.
Yes👍👍
They were the absolute masters of all kinds of movies from the beginning until recently, when all movie making went down the toilet.
I could not understand what was happening.
Best espionage film I have ever seen.
Outstanding plot and acting performances ❤
R.I.P George Segal
Albert finney what an actor loved 'Saturday night Sunday morning'.
And "Tom Jones", of course.
Excellent cast and movie. So nice to hear the English language spoken so well……in it. Smile.
First class rating as to acting, script, suspense. Do I miss MM.FINLEY AND SEAGAL!!!!thank you to merit your high quality selecting the posts you send us . CHEERS
When actors were actors
Great film and acting, and music by the Italian composer, Ennio Morricone!
One of the very last, fine Cold War films. I almost miss those days.
As said by other subscribers a golden age . Albert Finney , Saturday night Sunday morning , George Segal with other talented actors together made this great spook film. Please keep them coming. Thanks/regards. Dave
Yes I remember those depressing social realism films from Great Britain and seeing them on TV as a kid in the 60s and 70s ... they were good movies that have a way of pulling you in it's just that they were so depressing , often .
Excellent movie-such great casting. So glad I found this channel.
VG film, although I needed to watch it twice. Congrats to Bryan Forbes, both for his writing and his direction.

1:18:25 twist
Thoroughly enjoyed this. However, having checked IMDB, it was, originally, a two part,TV, drama with a total duration of 3 hrs, 20 mins. Obviously this upload is a very abridged version of the original. Not having watched the original version, I was able to absorb and enjoy what was presented. However, I did feel that some continuity and, therefore, explanation as to how certain situations arose, was lacking. Oh well, it is free to view and beggars can't be choosers. Thanks for the upload and, for anyone reading this comment, watch and enjoy.
Bla bla bla
Sir, you have a point there :)
@@brianfreel1473 So why are you wasting our time?
Blahblahblah
Thanks for the background. I had never heard of it.
If Kristin Scott Thomas is in the movie, I'm definitely watching.
Me too! She’s a class act….
@@jinka6171 She's especially beautiful in this movie.
She is one hell of a sexy lady….Very beautiful….
Vert good. Finney is an outstanding actor.
Please name some other good movies of Finney.
@@naveenchandrapathak9274 "Good" is subjective. I cannot therefore help you.
@@byronelenica8329 Atleast You took the time to reply. That's enough for me . I will do the search as usual.
@@naveenchandrapathak9274 Erin Borkovitch - Saturday Night and Sunday Morning. Finney is highly revered by the British.
@@naveenchandrapathak9274 Tom Jones, The Dresser, Under the Volcano, The Browning Version.
Enjoyed the film, love the cold war stuff, and the cast was excellent. Thanks for posting it.
A *_N I C E_* new upload JW... Definitely an "absorbing" espionage suspense thriller. Finney and Segal were perfect opposites *_AND_* adversaries! 👌
It's one those Preferred Films blending live action with 'memory sequences' that require your Full Attention in order to Connect-The-Dots.... 😋
Great ENDING..... from where the film was rightfully entitled!!! 👍
When you pop up, I immediately like and share because I know it will be good when I get the time to watch
Jesus wept. Hurrah! Look forward to seeing some good films. Enjoying this one, which I had never heard of. Terrific cast.
I am with you. I mean to watch good movies.
"Game goes on, Alex."
Excellent movie.👌
Loved this
The cold blooded KGB not much in evidence.
Today's Russia quite altered... even more brutal definitely less intelligent
🎉🎉🎉
A super movie.. Albert Finney.. one of the best
🎉🎉🎉
Little makes sense for the whole first hour, making this a waste of time. I'm 1/2 way through watching it for the 2nd time in a out 2 years, and so far it's no better than the 1st time I saw it. Some films do improve on 2nd watching, but not this one. Instead of 2 hours, it should have been just 1 hour. I'm quitting half way through. Big names do not necessarily mean that the movie will be good. Finney does his best, but the terrible, slow moving plot full of holes is a disaster. It might be a good book, but I do not recommend this movie.
Since you didn't like e thru that time, one wouldn't expect you to understand. Plot twists are a huge part of spying and espionage.
@@bennettjones9696well you should at least be able to understand them or figure them out, at some point. I didnt understand a thing in 2 hrs.
Sadly l agree
I disagree.
But then.....I read the book.
By "book" I mean the thing made from a murdered tree.
If you need the plot explained just ask google for the synopsis.
If you search on RUclips,you should be able to find the audiobook version
Sadly,most films spoon feed the plot so the Merkin audience can follow along.
As a therapist whose worked in many nursing homes here in NJ/PA...I can say, even I. 1989, the idea that a facility would allow the door to be closed to patients rooms is nonsense. The general idea besides observations by the staff, is safety.
Fall are prevented by judging posture and alertness while the pt is seated.
I guess this was contrived for the script. To have 3 cognitively impaired patients in a closed room is ridiculous. Cant believe the UK would have allowed that.
Other wise, thanks for the film
Omg, you know absolutely nothing about British nursing homes at all!!
I could tell you things I've seen and you wouldn't believe me!
So I won't even try!
The set up in this film is based on a very good nursing home with excellent care, compare with what I had seen.
@@E-Katso is it really different in the UK ? I'm asking sincerely because those of us in America only know the system we have here , if we haven't visited others or known of others in those countries who have been put in nursing homes and assisted living .
'After he came in from the cold, he seemed to have lost his touch.' (57:59) Intentional giveaway, for the whole film smells of John Le Carré's 'The Spy Who Came in from the Cold' -- even his first name Alec is the same as Alec Leamas's of that novel; even the chalet in the mountains. Kristin Scott Thomas is one of those several English actresses gorgeous like only English actresses are.
Just about a carbon copy of SWCIFC.
The biggest similarity is the entre to prison to establish disaffection from the Circus(really is the same universe as Smiley would inhabit).
Great actors - Albert Finney and George Segal - directed by Brian Forbes, yet this spy movie is very pedestrian and unengaging.
But of a shame really.
Intriguing movie, right till the end.
Aaaand… music is by Ennio Morricone, none the less! By Jove, tv was worthwhile back in the days!
GOOD MOVIE!!!! Thoroughly enjoyed it.
thank you so much for the movies. could not afford any extra right now, Very grateful. Have a great weekend..
This was an excellent film. Thanks for making it available.
Surprisingly well-executed for what seems a derivative of the several Le Carre novels and movies. It hardly veers from the template Le Carre created, and yet still very compelling with a first-rate cast. As noted, there are some gaps as if it had been abridged, and yet that was actually a hallmark of the genre to begin with: nothing spoon-fed to the viewer in terms of understanding the relationships and plot.
Graham Greene was the master of the spy genre
It is Based on Bryan Forbes's Own Spy Thriller Novel "The Endless Game'" Which is the First Book of His "Alec Hilsden" Trilogy....The Other Two Books are "A Spy at Twilight" and "Quicksand", In Bryan Forbes's Books the Head of British Secret Service is Called 'Control' Which is Similar to Le Carre's "George Smiley" Series.
Yeah. No transitions in Le Carre films.
@@paulhoward6165I love this writer too. Read almost all his books. He was working for Intelligence service and probably thats why it is so interesting to read him.
I'm glad, I didn't have to sweat to write this! Thank you.
RIP George Segal
I didnt understand anything, only how she got mad, just that.
Great cast, they don’t make them like this any more…all these great actors nearly all gone ….
This is really old, street kids saying “thank you”
No they were playing cricket, a sport that breeds manners ,
What makes you think poor people have bad manners? I never really saw bad manners until I went to a university and met rich kids. I learned privilege meant you didn't expect consequences for bad behavior. Believe me, my parents and grandparents, as they had learned from theirs, expected you to behave properly to both family, friends and strangers or there were consequences. The kids in my family learn that lesson now. I still obey the rules of courtesy as a sign of respect for others. However, if you disrespect someone who believes in those rules the consequences are entirely on you. The kids live in a crappy neighborhood without a cricket pitch because that's all ther parents can afford on their wages. Perhaps they put their money towards food and education before housing. The kids have to play where they can. Learn some respect.
It's tedious the expression, idea, "make love."
It's contradictory, "make love."
You make a pie, lasgna, pizza, ice cream.
I love watching espionage movies and this was excellent thank you for the download.
Hi
That inevitable phrase ‘ Coming in out of the cold’ sets the scene for the entire genre of Cold War spy movies, when even if the hero survives the final scene, it leaves you wondering, ‘ For how long?’ Because of the role Richard Burton immortalised in ‘ The spy who came in from the cold’.
Shalom to us only in Christ Yeshua returning soon to reign over the world from Jerusalem.
Well, it is a spy movie ,ok. But it is not a spy thriller. There is no thrill in it.
An amalgamation - bordering on a piracy - of Carre's Smiley tales.
I never cease to be amazed at the lack of realism in films which obviously amuse people. It must contribute to mental instability in the general population.
So I guess you've been a spy during the cold war era and you know what really goes on behind the scenes .
People coming to these comments would like to hear more of what you know about the reality of such things
Great movie 🎥 and very good cast! Thanks for sharing 👍
I like Mr. Segal as a good character actor n all.
What a job rustling up all those Extras for a 10 second shot.
Now, CGI imaging will solve this
Wow... I drifted off and awoke to Lemas and "the Spy Who Came In from the Cold"
Like the spies it portrays, films like this always fly under the radar and are soon forgotten. The problem with the spy game, post WW2, is there are so many pots boiling over on the stove, trying to save one knocks another one over. The final solution both sides came up with...do nothing....let them all boil over and see what happens. To save one pot might knock several more pots (operations) over. Safer to just watch and see what happens. Then, next thing you know, it's standard procedure...then it's policy. This certainly sums up Afghanistan before, during and after we exited it! No mention in the liberal Democratic press about the fate of all those in that country who supported us until President Biden suddenly packed up, leaving a billion dollars in military equipment there, and abandoned our allies to Isis. Total blackout in the supposedly honest, upstanding liberal media about the fate of our ex allies we abandoned.
@freemarketjoe9869....You are right on target about how Biden betrayed the American civilians and the Afghanistan civilians who had been helping The U.S. I cannot imagine the horror and brutality that the left behind Afghan civilians had to face from Isis. I think this action is only a step away from Biden being a traitor to America and to Afghanistan.
And talk about being a traitor to America is how most of the MSM has been the propaganda arm of the Socialist Democrats, and as we are learning more & more about on an almost daily basis now...the DOJ and the FBI have been protecting and covering up for the Democrats and particularly the Biden Cartel making millions from China.
Two exceptional actors... entertaining story.
Excellent film, thank you...
Ah, the good ol' Cold War days! What do we call it today?
Fake news?
@@pter7531 👏
In most of these films, the women are inevitably far younger than the men.
That's because they were born earlier.
Great cast. Competent cinework. All let down by a weak paranoid script, more crooked than a Tory politician.
Great from Bryan Forbes.
Missed it either on television or released on the big screen.
Like Richard Attenborough, Forbes started out in supprting rôles and as a director aftetwards with 'King Rat' also starring G. Segal and 'Whistle Down the Wind' with Hayley Mills and Alan Bates among his best.
Was 'The Pumpkin Eater' also his? Saw it much too long ago.
Looked it up: Jack Clayton helmed 'The Pumpkin Eater'.
'The Whisperers' and 'The L-Shaped Room' were also notable movies from director Forbes.
I am seeking to learn the name of a British spy movie, where the spy used Syntax explosives; he threatened to blow up a school and used syntax in a car bombing that was set off by another vehicle trying to park on a crowded street by intentionally bumping into this vehicle. He killed or other spies were killed on a train. the movie was made in the 1970"s or 80:s. i saw this movie as a veteran in 1988
Segal & Finney look OLD for the year...
Liked the ending!
Liked the realistic ending!
Formidable, una gran película. El casting impecable, la trama excelente, igual la dirección. Hoy es imposible lograr películas de este nivel.
Excellent movie, they don't make them like this any more. Liked and subscribed.
Terrific! All around terrific! Thanks!
Nostalgic, great movie and cast.👍🙏
So he stayed loyal to his love not his country, brilliant, compelling.
Excellent.. Thank you.
Enjoyable movie; most of the way through the second half I was thinking " who's next? "
Definitely kept me on the edge of my seat.
Beautiful Nanette Newman is still with us as I write 20th April 2024. Lovely actress, and Bryans wife and Mum to Emma and Sarah. The Raging Moon will always be a favourite!
Kristin Scott Thomas is a beautiful lady. Not only is she acts believably in Horse Whisperer and this film. She has the full package.😊 Albert Finley was in his youth handsome up to old age in Erin Brocovitch❤
This movie sounds great but you didn't bother with closed captioning. I have a hearing disorder. Please reconsider. People who don't want the captions don't have to use them. They are vital for many of us.
I usually like to pop in and make my comment on the first half of the movie I see this organization very strong no it's extremely strong enough to find a witness that said he looks like the Prince's murder
This corporation can hide anyone on this earth and with that said they are so sincere to one another no one will ever leak out any information
if it were a book I was reading I wouldn't put it down or turn the edge of the pages for a pause mark.
Totally awesome story i
Am enjoying it quite a bit and even more with no interruption with that said I'll be back for the final comment at the end on with the movie Tata for now 🙋🏽
George died in 2021 age 87: he died of heart by-pass complications: he was married 3 times, had 2 children: his ancestry were Russian Jews; both maternal and paternal side of his family.
To murder your sincere mutual lover is a NAH!
YOU BET !
I used to fondly remember one particular line from this film [- in this version just after1:03:44] :
“Listen. You're a sexy lady but don't think you can just smile, flash your tits, and I'm going to roll over and beg.”
And this time another [I suppose ironically-written] line jumped out, at 1:22:32, from a Soviet controller: "They're so stupid, these birds. Born in captivity but never get used to it."
Quite a clever film. In the tradition of the genre, the reader/viewer has to work things out for themselves a bit and not miss any of the clues. All high-quality actors, famous and tremendously well-respected in their time, even in the smaller parts. Wonderful final quarter-hour - scenes for actors to relish.
Recent events prompt me to wonder if there is any parallel here with the career of a certain Boris J...? [I hope that's not a spoiler for anyone.]
Glad I decided to watch it for a second time, some years after the first.
Thanks.
Fantastic soundtrack.
Between the arrival of Gorbachev in 1985 and the second election of V.V. Putin in 2011, there was a window of time, of which this film was a very early occupant, where the equivalence of the American Exceptionalism and the Russian self-image as the last best hope of Christendom, allowed the West to depict Russians as honorable, intelligent, and humane.
😂
Hard to concentrate on the movie when there's music playing in the background..??
I wonder if in 2059 we will look back at 2024 and say what a great time for movies , actors, and scripts? I dont think so.
Retro classic retro vintage Film movie 🎥🎥🎥🎬🎞️📽️👍💯

With music by Ennio Morricone!
Thank you for Great movies and an Excellent channel!
Enjoyed the movie. Thanks.
👍Good movie terrific cast 👏 thanks for sharing with us. 🇬🇧
Nanette Newman was a beautiful woman and actress
Morricone for the soundtrack.....I ve heard it after a few seconds
Sounds as if he phoned it in.
Only seen 15 minutes but so far it has been totally boring. After 60 minutes the levels of intrigue have increased from zero to intriguing. I won't tell you the end. But it did cease being boring after 16 minutes.
This turned out to be a pretty good film..!
the killer just entered and left the nursing home without anyone noticing him?how lax is that nursing home with their guests,a bit alarming
Hi
He was known as her uncle who had been there several times. He even brought flowers!
Shalom to us only in Christ Yeshua returning soon to reign over the world from Jerusalem.
