The Hill (1965) | Documentary Short - Sean Connery Ian Hendry Harry Andrews

[@charleswells8453]

One of the most criminally underrated films of all time, an absolute classic and Connery’s greatest performance. In fact all of the cast give great performances and the black and white cinematography enhances the whole experience. An incredibly powerful film from start to finish.

[@2msvalkyrie529]

Sidney Lumet !! 👍👍 ! So many classic movies.!

[@AmericasChoice]

Films like The Hill are rare. When the production, writing, direction, cinematography, editing, acting, location, set design, costumes, extras etc. all come together in almost perfect harmony. It delivers the quintessential male passage movie. Every 12 year old male should be required to watch it...

Make,s you think twice about joining the army

[@MultiJazzman21]

i was a film extra on this film and was fortunate to see some classic scenes with Ian Hendry and Sean Connery and Harry Andrews take place at MGM Elstree,where the interior prison filming took place.There acting was superb, Sidney Lumet a master. When i speak to my grandchildren about my work, this is the film i speak about.

[@IanHendryActor]

Hi Peter - great to hear from you and what a wonderful anecdote! I'd very much like to correspond with you further about your memories and experience. I am Ian's nephew and look after this KZbin channel and the website created as a tribute to his life and work. He gave me the army cap he wore as a gift when I was about 8 years old, so this film also has very special memories for me too. If you'd like to drop me a note via the website using the following link I can then reply by email. I'd love to hear from you - Neil. Contact via ianhendry.com/contact/

They never mentioned the last name of the RSM, the Doctor or the Commandant. The first name of the Sergeant major is "Bert" but I never heard the last name of the Sergeant Major, everybody else (except officers) goes by the last name, isn't that weird?

[@cryptohunt2552]

Peter Avella I envy you.

[@Brecconable]

@@user-sp8eb6iz7f I think it was RSM Wilson.

[@DIEWELTMusicChannel]

.....one of the best movies I've ever seen...Hendry plays (so well) Sergeant Williams, a character that you love to hate....I watch this classic at least once a year...and I recommend you do the same...

[@somethingelse4878]

This is so powerful My Dad was in WW2 and he used to say many Sargent's had the same name bast... This film shows how tough the British army could be at a time when we needed men

[@horiapuscuta]

A superb film, terrific, intense, very powerful. Some of the best acting I've ever seen. This and "Paths of Glory" are the best war movies ever.

[@abstractacus1598]

My old man loved this film! He had something of a hard time in the army, I don't know what happened but this film rang a bell for him. It's a great film, the HILL itself is a metaphor for all sorts of things. A mention here of Roy Kinnear who really excelled himself and proved he was not just a comedy actor.

[@dcasey77]

Harry Andrews was born to play his role. I can't think of another actor who could have done it better.

[@user-sp8eb6iz7f]

Karl Malden !!!

[@jeffsmith2022]

Amen to that brother, always loved him...

[@eamonstafford2056]

Windsor Davies? I do agree Harry Andrews is a very good Warrant Officer. He was also superb in "Ice Cold in Alex'

[@ppuh6tfrz646]

@@user-sp8eb6iz7f You must be taking the piss if you think Karl Malden could have played that role better than Harry Andrews.

[@eyelidman09]

RIP Sean Connery. You will not be forgotten.🌞🙏🇬🇧🌞

[@aala7337]

An exceptional film!

[@davelister1]

A fantastic opening shot in 1 take. A bleak looking, human fight for survival ! This is a classic movie

[@Jabber-ig3iw]

It’s not a war film if Harry Andrews isn’t in it.😁😁, he is in 2 of my absolute favourites, The Hill and Ice Cold in Alex.

[@2msvalkyrie529]

And Jack Hawkins ??? Perfection. !!

[@johnkeating4221]

One of the greatest films ever made .

[@maxinemckenzie5765]

Yes it is.

An outstanding film...

[@ENLIGHTENMENT789]

A FANTASTIC Film, one of my faves

[@bowrog]

Excellent film -best thing Connery ever did!!

[@DavidSmith-op8ix]

Harry Andrews is superb.

[@tylerdurden576]

my favorite movie of all time. masterpiece of sidney lumet.

[@deputy1968]

I found this awesome movie on the TMC Network about a year ago. I've watched it ten times. All the actors are 1st rate. Thank you for this video.

[@AngloSaxophone]

I used to watch this movie on TV when i was 16. Im 28 now. Your acting ability of your role is brilliant. Such a great movie! Thanks!

[@IanHendryActor]

sKald Thanks sKald. I keep this channel in memory of my late uncle - but he is no doubt smiling and raising a glass to you as I type this! Glad you liked the film and his role in it - classic cast, direction and cinematography...

[@pix046]

+Ian Hendry Tidy it up.

[@blueschewy2558]

Extraordinary film. Not to discredit Gert Frobe but I could have seen Roy Kinnear cast as Auric Goldfinger.

[@spleeeen4it]

great film, great actors, great director

[@ferabra8939]

Possibly Connery's best performance.

[@dcasey77]

I think his performance in The Offence just beats it but I think The Hill is his best film.

[@nigeh5326]

He was great in this and the offence I also thought his acting in the name of the rose was very good

[@maxinemckenzie5765]

Yeah this and Sydney Lumet's "The Offence" (1972), which reunites (if that's the right word) Connery and Ian Bannen. If you havnt seen it , it's arguably even heavier than "The Hill".🎭👌

[@mickya7829]

It's good to see a non PC film. Rear life

[@steppings5645]

Just discovered this Docu short, been an avid fan of the film ever since I watched it on tv many years ago. I recommend it to friends etc. but rarely find many that have heard of it, especially when I mention Roy Kinnear is in it with Sean Connery. That raises a few eyebrows! Would love a copy on DVD

[@bellarosa009]

Great movie, acting and directing.

[@jontibloom]

A great dramatic movie .....don't think was an average performance by any of the actors

[@olikane530]

TOP film !

[@ricardocantoral7672]

Sidney Lumet's best film, IMO. A representation of an empire created by blood and prejudice. Connery was on fire and the supporting cast held it's own. Last but not least, the stark beauty of Oswald Morris's cinematography. I really wish more Hollywood filmmakers would embrace black and white.

[@lewisgreen2957]

Connery’s best film by far..

[@wildbill8635]

Harry Andrews. I am ex army & harry andrews must have been a sgt or ssm/rsm in the war. He's got it all. Superb actor worthy of a Oscar but as he's not Hollywood..

[@Jabber-ig3iw]

William Buchan he was in the Royal Artillery but I don’t know what rank, he wasn’t an officer, I do know that.

[@mjspice100]

A lot of actors of that era had served in the armed forces including Sean Connery who was RN. That’s why these films are so realistic, they know how to behave like soldiers..

[@AudieHolland]

Never knew this was actually shot in a desert location. I have only seen it once or twice. I did like all performances though, very gritty and sometimes rather insane (the staff screaming out orders all the time to prisoners when they were to be moved). And I mean screaming. If you didn't know from looking this is a British movie, you'd think it was a Japanese WW2 POW camp.

[@videocurios]

Thankyou very much its amazing to see this documentery their is no movie I love better than The Hill. Its a pity the cast weren't interviewed,but its wonderful seeing how this movie masterpiece came to be made

[@IanHendryActor]

Some Civilian prisons should be like this instead of today’s soft regimes.
