*FANTASTIC* movie! Taut, suspenseful, extremely well-acted. It's amazing how those cheap sets and other problems just recede into the background when the acting is so compelling and the story so well-told. I mean, Jeffrey Hunter's voice was genuinely shaky & his breathing ragged after that raid scene. The girl's hands in that final scene had such convincing tremors too. Just the opposite of today's films where the acting is so bad it must give way to the special effects.

Nigel has chiseled good looks, and lots of intensity and charisma. I think he's much more attractive than Mr. Hunter. One of my favorite comedies, which he stars in and directs, is How to Murder a Rich Uncle.

[@jivanvasant]

COUNT FIVE AND DIE. It is subtle and implicitly explained. A cyanide capsule kills within 5 seconds after it is crushed in a person's mouth by biting the pill's shell. The British man had a fake capsule that didn't work. The second man, Peter the Dutchman, asked for a cyanide capsule but was not given one so that he would be tortured when captured by the Germans. The third man was a German agent who took a capsule and died within 5 seconds. The availability of cyanide capsules was critical to the success of the mission to mislead the Germans. The amount of reverse psychology, bluffing and fake double-bluffing is mind boggling.

Jeffrey hunter was always underrated as an actor because he was the male version of Elizabeth Tayler. Eye candy for the females. But he spent the rest of his life trying to be a good actor in spite of his extraordinary good looks. His wife talked him out of the original star trek series as the first choice for capt. Kirk because she felt Jeff was a movie star not a TV actor and to her it was demeaning to be selling toilet paper corn flakes and coffee from the same sponsors year after year. In those days of the 1960s there was a huge difference between TV and screen actors.tickets cost money and TV was free.

He was offered the Lead Roll in the 1966 "Star Trek" series, but turned it down only to have a series of Strokes and dying in 1969 at only 42 years old following a serious fall and a botched operation. He could have gone on to Super Fame with the "Star Trek" series in hindsight. You can see how he isn't just another Pretty Face actor in this movie.

He was in a tv show in the late 50''s, or thereabouts with an American actor..whose name escapes me but this actor was later in an American sries with Jack Elam about US Marshalls or Texas rangers..(sorry, should have googled this first) Our hero played an investigator at a British Airport...Excellent..I adore him.

Thanks for posting, never saw it before and it was a very good thriller. Great characters and suspense. Also, I've always liked Jeffrey Hunter and I'm getting the feeling he's being rediscovered (or discovered for the first time) by many people thanks to things like KZbin. Have you ever seen him in Brainstorm? That's a wild picture. He's got the same intensity as in this film, but it's a different type of character and a memorable one.

[@HeatherGlen33]

He was also an alcoholic, and died when he fell down the stairs. He never had a good start. :-(

[@IrvONeil-fn6cp]

I've heard that he had an accident on a film set that caused some problems with his head that eventually led to that fatal fall. And though his career was cut short, he certainly made a number of good films and is clearly the subject of fan discussion today! Check him out in No Down Payment, Heather, if you haven't seen that yet--another excellent film that also stars his first wife Barbara Rush.

[@jmccracken1963]

Irv O. Neil Fortunately, the "powers-that-be" didn't cast him and his ex-wife as husband and wife in the NO DOWN PAYMENT - or give them any scenes of interaction through dialogue. Hunter's character's wife in that movie was played by Patricia Owens, while Barbara Rush played the wife of Pat Hingle's character.

[@daviddd99]

Quite how someone of Hunter's intensity and good looks got eclipsed by cheesier actors like Rock Hudson defies belief. A very 'modern'-looking guy.

A pity Hunter turned down the second Star Trek pilot offer after the original pilot was rejected by NBC.

The English assignment was to feed misinformation to the Germans about the location of the D-Day landings; they are to make it look like the invasion will be in Holland. Ten German divisions were not in the line; they were north in Holland, waiting for an invasion that never came. The D-Day landings instead, took place June 6, 1944. Forces landed on five beaches along a 50-mile stretch of the heavily fortified coast of France's Normandy region, and not Holland. Re: the film: heavy background noises sometimes over ride the characters voices. It would be good if the film was restored. l found the clothing and hairstyles too modern, more like the early 60's in the era the film was was made. Plot is very good....especially the espionage tactics used. The pace of the film was upbeat...never a dull moment. Nigel Patrick is in charge of the whole English espionage unit, his acting and command role, he delivered with aplomb. Nigel Patrick a very good actor, and a very nice person. Jeffrey Hunter.....one of the nicest people in Hollywood.....died from a fall in his home, resulting in a skull fracture...hemorrhaged...died the next day after the operation. He was 42 y.o., left 4 children.

Ending makes sense. Based on true story (at least a movie script). Had to chance a bullet (possible death) so she would resend with the false message. By only taking her into custody, it would have put those Germans at Normandy, not Holland. Hunter appears to survive where Duringer surely does not.

Did he not think she could've covered him with the gun and Morse coded at the same time? Is that why he walked towards her?

Excellent film!

I did lookup Mr. Wynne's books and suggested them to my husband as well as this movie. I was curious about why his offspring wrote the author at age 86 was stuck in Cyprus. Mr. Wynne is a man of principle. I am not surprised his legal case is such as i is because I am Greek and my experience is in Greece at least there are no lines or there were no lines in the bank, utter chaos and corruption when my father was dealing with lawyers regarding property he had. There is no order and bureaucratic nonsense prevails. Maybe he would be a happier man to just let it go! be free of it. I can understand however, if he took a bite and held on like a pitbull he cannot let it go! It sounds exhausting.

Top-notch (for the time) Spy Thriller with OSS Ops front and center. Really tight!

Tanks 4 posting this.It's nice to Capt. Pike again.

A damn good old spy movie. Jeffrey Hunter did a great job. Nigel Patrick was very good- he made me dislike him for being such a hard ass. Thanks for the good one!

That's what I liked about Patrick's role. the total professional . That's what it takes, not someone who wants to be liked.
