The Black Book 1949 (Historical Spy Thriller film) Robert Cummings, Richard Basehart, Richard Hart

[@c.a.savage5689]

What a little gem of a film!! Richard Basehart was brilliant as the baby-faced Robespierre and the voice of Arnold Moss as Fouché added much to the film. Such great cinematography as well. Kudos to Robert Cummings. He was much more than a comedic actor.

[@broadwaybaby348]

Saw this movie on TV when young and I loved it. Also terrified me! Robert Cummings is wonderful and it's a great story.

[@Paladin1873]

Wow, this movie hit the ground running and never stopped till the end. Who knew Bob Cummings could play such a serious and determined character. Did anyone recognize Star Trek's Kodos (Arnold Moss) as the devious secret police chief Fouché. What a fascinating and unpredictable character he was.

[@thomassnider6691]

It was true to life when Robespierre is silenced at the end. When he was to speak at the convention his enemies feared his words so much they busted his jaw.

[@coastalseasider4634]

I only knew of Robert Cummings as a comedic character before this. Nice to see these actors in earlier days. Thanks for sharing.

[@cwbrooks5329]

He's great in The Lost Moment and King's Row also!

[@TheQuirkyCharacter]

@@cwbrooks5329 Absolutely!

Love the old French Revolution movies and the time period. They don't do 'em anymore. Good movie! Great upload, Thanks 🥰‼️

[@adagietto2523]

A very enjoyable trip to the world of freshy sliced loaves; Fouché is particularly good as a wily opportunist with his own special kind of sense of humour.

[@stephenrose1343]

Great direction, fantastic cinematography finely acted, this film deserves to be better known. Thanks for posting.

A young Arlene Dahl - thought she looked familiar! Note: So after the end of this story, Napoleon Bonaparte's association w/Robespierre made him a political suspect so was arrested --but released in 2 wks.

Hi Richard Basehart is Robespierre!

What a well-directed movie. Fouche looks so much like Brody. ❤️ watching Fouche. RIP (35 years later) as I only got to know you existed today ...

Any Anthony Mann noir is gonna be excellent. And John Alton the cinematographer. THIS FILM CANT MISS!! A top flight director of westerns too.

[@richardscanlan3419]

Absolutely.One of the great hollywood director's.

[@mesolithicman164]

Alton was brilliant. His work on Raw Deal and T-Men, painting with Light, to coin a phrase.

Robespierrre, a powerful figure in the French revolution, is desperately looking for his black book, a death list of those marked for the guillotine.

Happy star wars day😊

[@salvatoreguiliano2429]

And then the corrupt members of the convention have found out that their names are on the list. they have beheaded Robespierre, to build a parliamentery system called democracy. Since then they are leading France.

Surprisingly gory for its time this film

Bună dimineața și mulțumesc pt acest film super de frumos din anul 1949, CCC ❤

[@OLDCHEMIST1]

An excellent film, considering its age - it's even older than me!🤣😂 Amazing what they could do without CGI, just good acting and direction.

[@davidsigalow7349]

An excellent film with the director and cinematographer working wonders with a low budget. One wonders if the parallels between Robspierre and Stalin were intentional.

[@alecwilliams7111]

This is a very good film about a bloody and exciting era of history. As far as i can tell, they read the history books before they wrote the screenplay. Fouche was a real character--a spider and a watcher behind the scenes. He survived into Napoleon's reign, and even Napoleon was afraid of him See: IN THE DAYS OF THE FRENCH REVOLUTION.

[@davidsigalow7349]

...so Fouche was a combination of J Edgar Hoover and Beria?

[@Paladin1873]

@@davidsigalow7349 That sounds about right.

[@michel9507]

Je me rends compte qu'a l'époque de Robespierre, on devrait peser chaque mot qu'on prononce et, plus important encore, à qui l'on dit, sinon c'est la guillotine. Quelle angoisse pour ces contemporains! Vivement qu'on est loin de tout ça, après tant d'années déjà. Il faut que cela n'arrive plus jamais, peu importe quelle époque dans le futur.

[@LIZZIE-lizzie]

Unfortunately, it's in the air, on the wind and though not the same, fanatical just the same! Humanity never learns and steers away from God. Never to the all omnipotent and merciful Father.

Que gran película, que recrea una de las versiones del fin de Robespierre. El personaje histórico de Fouche está muy representado con mucha fidelidad.

The subtitles are laughably inaccurate! Otherwise, very good for its kind, a sort of Film Noir meets Red Scare with more than usually subtle acting, writing and direction.

[@Panavision70]

J'ai hâte de voir ça, merci !

Richard Basehart has always been good at being bad, quite a good film looking it's age a bit now of course but still a good watch, thanks.
