True, but then there are movies with Dana Andreus like The Best Years of Our Lives (1946) or Laura, that are so good, that screw my top 10 and top 50 favorite movies ever! (Especialy the first movie I mentioned!) Those who haven't watched it...I promise it's MASTERPIECE.
Seeing General Burkhalter dressed civilian and at least a100lbs thinner made him a good Hungarian villain henchman. Dana Andrews reprises his sleuthing scheming role from Berlin Correspondent and for once George Sanders gets to play a good guy. Good Movie, first time viewing and well worth it. A good quality upload too.
Did you know that Gen Burkhalter, Sgt Shultz and LeBeau were all Jews? LeBeau was a Holocaust survivor. Schultz’s family owned one of Germany’s largest toy factories and it was all taken away from them.
Very good Cold War story. Jimmy Race (Andrews) was a little too brash in a foreign consulate and the gorgeous Moray (Torén)❤ though beautiful enough didn't seem tough enough as a news correspondent. Sandy (Totter), on the other hand, who was, worked as a fashion editor. Go figure. Sadly, Torén died far too early at the age of but 30 years old. Great cast. Enjoyable. Thank you
@larrainemorris8752 That fashion reporter was the every lovely, frequently deadly in her deviousness, when portraying a femme fatale, in her numerous film noir appearances, Audrey Totter. Some, but not her best films are available here on You Tube, and also on Internet Archive. Check them out, you will not be dissapointed.
How prophetic. No one will ever know how many people have been kept in prison or worse by countries like Russia. I pray for those who are suffering on this Sunday, 23Jun24.
At the time of shooting this film the USA was busy plotting the infamous coup of 1953 to overthrow the democratically elected government of Dr Mussadaq in Iran.
Thank you for reminding that coup, although America did not acknowledge it for may years till on August 2013. And years before it , on February 1979, they put Khomeini in the airplane and send to Iran. مرسی آسمان آبی وطن
I appreciate Dana Andrews. His first wife died from pneumonia along with an unnamed child. He remained married to his second wife till his death. I find that admirable. I enjoy his work.
I didn't have the highest hopes for this movie, and only watched it because I thought the movie I originally picked out would suck. I am glad I changed movies, because this movie was great: a taut thriller, without a break in the tension. One more thing: I've noticed that many movies don't use the title of the source material for the title of the movie. This was a mistake in this case, because Trial By Terror would have been a much better title than Assignment: Paris.
George Sanders is one of three actors who speak the English language as it should be spoken, The other two actors are Rex Harrison and James Mason. Dana Andrews assumed many personas in his career and did them justice. Audrey Totter, who was slated, by studio execs, to become that decade's fem noir villan , was excellent.
Comic-book level spy treatment made watchable only by the interplay between Dana Andrews and Marta Toren, which disappeared in the second half of the movie.
les prisons hongroises m'ont fait penser à Guantanamo en moins pire. Loin d'être un chef-d'oeuvre (je n'aime pas Parrish), mais Les 3 acteurs sont fabuleux, Sanders en tête !
When do Americans get to act with some small sample of intelligence and forethought, correct anticipation and a clever Divine Inspiration and intervention. Sooner than our mortal enemies will suppose.
@@LM-fn6qb And by the time he was a young Kremlin stooge that system of evil was fully developed. The former KGB officer stationed in East Berlin can't conceive of "power to the people." For him to take mass under Krill is the absolute height of hypocrisy. Hell is not hot enough for either of those rats and the voices of the Soviet Union who are playing the same game of imperialism as the Czars for centuries.
A spy thriller, yes -- but a film noir, no. It's photographed in B & W, and it dates from the post-WW II era, true, but these elements do not make a film noir. Just for your information. Anyway, TFP. It's an absorbing film, even if Andrews hams up the American hero cliche.
If she goes back to that Evil man I will not watch your show… I’m tired of his abuse his children fear him mother Bloom in a earlier show months ago that he had a fight with his older son, lost his temper and killed him…I saw his son bleeding from his head…before he threw her out he hit her on the head she was in alot of pain…..
@@gerryhouska2859 I believe it. It has taken me such a long time to realize how subtle the Western propaganda is, to this day. All Hollywood is just subliminal messaging.
Why would the American government coward towards the Hungarian government? In the 1950s they could level the entire hungry if they wanted. I’m mean it’s hungry for goodness sake. 😂
Gripping story, brilliantly told, with great feeling! This one is a keeper!!
Never pass on a george sanders movie
so true....he epitomizes "sardonic" with charm. . Also love Dana Andrews.
Agreed!
Absolutely! I am the exact same way!

Love both George Sanders and Dana Andrews❤❤
I wouldn't miss a film with Dana Andrews👍👍👍. And Thanks for the very good viewing. Rest of cast: exceptional.
Thank you loved it.I had never seen the movie.Always loved George Sanders and Dana Andrews.

They're still doing it to this day; Whelan, the Wall Street Journal reporter....
I never passed up a Dana Andrews movie! He is one of my favorites!❤
I just saw him in "Fallen Angel" last week. Never seen it before. It was excellent!
George Sanders ❤

Great Cold War espionage plot, well-acted by all.
Very atmospheric

Now Hungry is blessed with a wise leader like Viktor Orban whose leadership and his country are a light to the free world.
You're kidding, right? 😂
@@Ciscodays ABSOLUTELY NOT.
Great story. AS American born in 1952 and well acquainted with the cold war,I did not like Communist than and,Ihave no respect for Commies now.
My Parents took in refugees from the failed Hungarian Revolution in 1956.
Excellent thank you
STRONG SCORE ...Duning

What a great unexpected ending. I am so glad it was not really happening to him.
Roger that. Thanks for watching.
Fantastic film thank you
Welcome. Glad you enjoyed it!
Nice movie
Which is better, the acting or the writing? Will have to watch it again to decide.... 😊
There’s that little thing again PLEASE DONT JUDGE UNLESS YOU WISH TO BE JUDGED AND TRY TO BE KIND @GOOD TO ALL PEOPLE WE ARE JUST THAT PEOPLE
Lots of bad people making judgements today. Have you noticed ?
Mr. Sanders probably had the dishiest voice in the history of men...until Sean Connery...
Don't forget James Mason!!😊
Bar tender looks like Mel blanc

@@DonaldPBorchersOG Thanks for making all these fine old films available.
@@testtuba Welcome. Thanks for your support.
George n Eve; Bette Davis😊
Gripping, even though the premise is dated. (Or is it?) But a criminally underused Audrey Totter. . .
Audrey's eyebrows needed a break
Je veux bien être " kissed" par Dana Andrews !! Il est irrésistible
Big smoker and drinker, donc non merci. His alcoholism did him in, sadly.
George Sanders not bad either.Right.
No, he did not die from alcoholism. I just saw an interview with his brother, Steve Forest. He had conquered alcohol years before he died.
More, more, more!
Thanks for watching.
And kids are enamoured with Socialism. SMH.
Marta Toren, um dos nais belos rostos do cinema.
les prisons hongroises m'ont fait penser à Guantanamo en moins pire.
Loin d'être un chef-d'oeuvre (je n'aime pas Parrish), mais Les 3 acteurs sont fabuleux, Sanders en tête !
Did anyone notice the radio announcer at the 58:52 point - he looked and sounded like Fernando Lamas...anyone ??
It's Paul Frees, who did lots of voices, including Boris Badenov in "Rocky & Bullwinkle.
When do Americans get to act with some small sample of intelligence and forethought, correct anticipation and a clever Divine Inspiration and intervention.
Sooner than our mortal enemies will suppose.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
Jimmy is a fast mover, prob had many before her….
Lucky he was alive, a great movie.,pity he has to be replaced,.
Why is Dana Andrews kissing George Sanders in the thumbnail?

How the hell did these people do so much smoking … all the time … everywhere … nonstop …unbelievable…
Up until 1996, ppl were still smoking in public bars, clubs, and restaurants in NY.
@@thankthelord4536are you a perfect example for everyone with no bad habits or your just a preacher thanks for the important information
Haven’t all these people been through hell 1way or another and it Wouldn’t be realistic if they didn’t smoke,

So many people see any b&w drama and label it noir.
👍
Spying movies are best

wow,,the graat george sanders taking second billing to b movie king dana andrews
Andrews still bore some of the star-quality sheen of Laura (1944). But yeah, Sanders was always better than B status.

Always the same script, Western propaganda.
Under Orban Hungary is reverting back to that.
@@gerryhouska2859 I believe it. It has taken me such a long time to realize how subtle the Western propaganda is, to this day. All Hollywood is just subliminal messaging.
Counter - communsm you mean? Hollywood embraced communism Marxism & anti-western propaganda a long time ago.
@@gerryhouska2859indeed it is.The rest of the European community is desperate.
Sorry, it's the truth about Communism.
Why didn’t they just grab her in the beginning of the movie and water torture her to get information on where Garbo is?? Instead of following her?
Because there would be no movie. 😂
Why would the American government coward towards the Hungarian government? In the 1950s they could level the entire hungry if they wanted. I’m mean it’s hungry for goodness sake. 😂
They are great people the Hungarians.
Haters of Communism and other evil lies.
