nick s A fairly good effort and well acted. The premise was good, the locations were nice, but the storytelling sagged in places. The lead's romance was shoehorned in and there was too much exposition. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 07/01/24 Full Review SICKS6SIX S I'm a big fan of Mitchum, he has made some good films, He does tend to play the same person a lot which can be a bit tedious but not as tedious as this film. wrote, produced and directed by the same person so he must be to blame, he wasted his money hiring a big star for this film as it is awful, boring, and dull plus the ending is the biggest anti-climax of any film I've seen in a long time, its as if the author ran out of ideas and just rushed the last few chapters off so he get down the pub before last orders, I can't recommend it unless you have to see everything Mitchum ever made and this is the last one you have on your bucket list, if that is not your reason to watch this farce avoid it, you will fall asleep and never wake up again, Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 08/28/23 Full Review Mur T Does anyone know how Danemore was able to ascertain the identities of the people who he was blackmailing? Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Audience Member Not bad, not great. A European spy caper with touches of noir as a press agent (Robert Mitchum) endeavors to learn about the identity of his recently-deceased employer. Had more attention been paid to the atmosphere and less of the overused film score, this could have been a top notch spy thriller. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member The plot of Foreign Intrigue is at times convoluted and fails to intrigue the viewer, but the rich color, well chosen locations, and moody music make it enjoyable to watch. Robert Mitchum fits well into the lead role of a loyal but curious American and Frédéric O'Brady proves to be the perfect foil as his mischievous and unwanted sidekick. The transition partway through into a Nazi thriller is not unexpected, and does offer up some interesting ideas, if not fully developed ones. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member I liked this film. I feel it´s underrated. Yes, a bit wooden/studio at times but on the whole very watchable. Good acting. Thank God for the absence of stupid action and sadistic violence. It does contain some ideas and realistic dialogue, something you canÃ,´t say about many "modern" flicks. One has to remember what the world looked like in the 50s when the question of war crimes still was something very real.
