Review :

O.E. Hasse portrays Admiral Canaris, who, as head of the Abwehr, played a double game against Hitler

I watched a clear full screen print of this movie, running 108 minutes. The title frames read "Un leben fur Deutschland" ADMIRAL CANARIS.

One seldom sees such a well-done biographically-based movie. The picture focuses on the head of Germany's intelligence (Abwehr) and spying operations between 1935 and the time of his arrest by Hitler in 1944. His imprisonment and execution are not mentioned or shown.

This is a highly intriguing story, done in a very engaging and mature way. It manages very smoothly to integrate personal details and subplots with documentary footage and suspenseful spy sequences. The acting is very realistic, the events plausible, although certainly the story has been dramatized. It might possibly be criticized for being somewhat episodic, but I do not see that as a fault because each of the selected incidents and sequences is handled adeptly.

The script is really first rate. We know the characters and understand them. The details are engaging, both of personal beliefs, personal feelings and tragedies, personal pressures, the spying operations, and the internal conflicts between Canaris and Heydrich. The scenes that are selected for our viewing are invariably interesting. The script wisely does not stay strictly on Canaris. It opens out to the relationship between one of his younger assistants (Adrian Hoven) and a young woman (Barbara Rutting) induced by Heydrich to spy on Canaris. It also works in spy sequences in France and London.

Canaris favored Hitler in 1937, as a counter to the Soviet Union, but he changed his mind in 1938 and then covertly worked against the Nazi excesses and mad schemes.

Canaris, a loyal German, is shown as seeking for Germany to avoid wars that he knew it could not win. He brings to light intelligence showing German's disadvantages, but it is typically ignored by the Nazi leadership. In 1938, Canaris plots against Hitler, planning a coup d'etat. This fizzles out due to Munich. He obviously walks a tightrope in his efforts to bring some sanity to the Hitler regime, maintaining cordial relations on the surface with Reinhold Heydrich. The latter is shown as constantly seeking to bring down Canaris so that he can take over the intelligence operations led by Canaris. The conflict between the traditional values of Canaris and those of Heydrich is brought out. Hitler is seen and heard briefly and only in documentary footage.

O.E. Hasse does a great job in the role of Canaris. He's assisted ably by Wolfgang Preiss as his right-hand man. Martin Held does an exceptional job as Heydrich. The rest of the cast equally carry their roles smoothly and engagingly.

The photography is in noir style in many scenes. This adds.

Certainly anyone with an interest in this historical era, fans of spy movies, fans of intrigue, and those with an interest in films that involve Nazis will not want to pass up seeing this film if they have the opportunity.

He is placed in charge of "Nelson Watch," which consists of twelve boys from all walks of British life, including the usual juvenile delinquent, a dictatorial bully and a kid afraid of heights. He is a harsh commander and fails to appreciate some of their problems in light of what he has been through.

Review :

Outward Bound

Kieran Moore plays a naval officer who has been released from captivity in Korea having suffered brainwashing.It is felt that he would benefit from being in charge of youths in an Outward Bound training camp on the Welsh coast.Much of the film in so far as it relates to Moore and his charges is predictable.It is rather difficult to take some of it too seriously when you realise that Fowler was 29 and Newley 24 when the film was made.Strange how the British cinema often asked actors in their twenties to try and play 10 years their junior.However that aside it is a reasonable film with some good exterior shots in a rather strange looking Eastman Colour.This was one of the last efforts of the ill fated Group 3 production company.

Review :

Minor western with a decent cast.

Probably the most distinguishing feature about this "B" western is the choice of names for the characters. One of the leading men is named Stacey, the leading lady is named Brett and their Native American adversary is named Chief Mike! Montgomery plays a zero-tolerence, by-the-book Major who comes to an Oregon fort with orders to solve the Indian problem. There have been skirmishes back and forth across the title river and he's been given instructions to end the conflict, one way or another, to pave the way for Oregon statehood. (It does complicate matters that his orders from headquarters change on a dime!) Denning is the head of a civilian militia who is also heavily involved in the fighting. Both men have their eye on a Sergeant's daughter (Hyer) who has a mind of her own. Finally, some misunderstanding and manipulation leads to a final stand off between the Cavalry and the Indians. There isn't a lot that's particularly special about this film, one of dozens of this kind, but it does entertain and is brief enough not to drag much. Montgomery is handsome, stalwart and charming, even through his icy exterior. Hyer is spirited and flirtatious. Crawford looks as if he's going to have a decent role (and it's great to see him looking young and handsome), but it only goes so far before he's lost in the shuffle. The Indians, aside from Granger as the Chief, don't come off as particularly authentic or menacing. At least the dialogue has a few decent lines. Other films have covered this territory better, but it's not a bad time killer. Directed by infamous showman William Castle just prior to his horror spree, it's a wonder audiences didn't get a clamp that looks like an arrow went through their head with each paid admission!

Review :

Not scary... funny!

This creepy Mansion comedies are a dime a dozen. Everybody has one in their credits. Tin Tan, Pompín Iglesias, etc. Here the star is Clavillazo. The plot changes though, because the group of people who were called to get the inheritance, will not have to spend 3 days and 3 nights in the creepy Mansion before they die or go crazy; they can go home and live their lives as they usually do and only visit the Mansion by night. They have to endure 3 nights here, and if they survive, the money is theirs to keep. Most of that money will go to one niece of the deceased, Mercedes Benz (Alma Rosa Aguirre) while the rest will go to whoever finds it, because it's hidden. So, every night, the doctor, the lawyer, the girlfriend, the maid, the chauffeur, they all will try to outsmart the rest in a crazy race until the executioner shows up and start leaving less and less people to enjoy wealth. Is then when Mercedez Benz's boyfriend hires a private detective (Clavillazo) to find the hidden money fast and stop the killings. Very good comedy with hand made characters perfectly well designed and cast. There's nothing creepier than the maid (Enriqueta Reza), o Manuel Dondé, or José Chávez Throwe

A sequel to Grosse Freiheit N. R. 7

St Pauli, in Homberg is the New Orleans of Germany and Great freedom number 7 street is it's bourbon street. It's a party town but the characters in the film has changed. Hans Alber is a different Hans.

His brother is having problems no one want s to go to his place any more the horse riding is boring to tourist.Hans coming back helps him out with his barking and his accordion. the song that he sang in Grosse Freiheit n.r. 7 is used as a title of the film and he sings it again. He seems to draw people to Heinzs club. It gets so good that Heinz seeks a loan from the property owner of St Paulis night clubs,played by Gustav Knuth, but his associates ,one of them played by Fritz Wagner are a bunch of crooks and he doesn't know this. Heinz has a problem with Hans spending a lot of time with his daughter Hans niece, who's in love with the son of the property owner, thinking he's stealing affection away from him but he always too busy to pay any attention to his daughter. It seems that years earlier Hans was in love with Heinz late wife before they got married but being that he was a sea lover she chose Heinz.The crooks try to set up trouble with Hans and his brother and the bar. They try to use one of the dancers of the bar , I think they control, but she changes her heart and becomes fond of Hans. Well Hans and Heinz gets in to an argument about him stealing affection from his daughter and moves out of his place. The crooks dupe Heinz into helping them get some valuable stuff from an old world war 2 submarine,under the ocean, so they can sell it for money but making him think that they will turn it in to the government since it would be own by the state.Hans comes to the rescue and all well that ends well but Hans misses the sea so he goes back and another sequel 3, The Nights in ST.Pauli. You have the Wiemar Distric in Berlin ,Zurick,Munich but St Pauli is still the New Orleans of Germany and a tourist trap still today just check the website. available at www.warfilms.com

Review :

Aldrich adds an extra dimension.

Apart from Burt Lancaster's macho warrior performance, this movie is also saved by Robert Aldrich's direction. It's not brilliant in any sense, but pure enough to tell a story with some unique moments that give it his trade mark. Also the subject matter of an Indian being a hero was not common in the 1950s. It was a brave attempt to create empathy for the Indian Warrior, but it was not difficult because Burt Lancaster played it perfectly in a heroic campy style. I know, white folks playing Indigenous roles can sometimes put you off, but because of the time period it was made in, I decided to let it go and enjoy this Western romp because Lancaster is my all time favorite actors, and I was always interested in Aldrich as an accomplish director who had his own style that suited this film to perfection.
