More footage of the N.B.C. interview with Mr Philby containing some questions which would - at the time - be considered as provocative. He was asked about his connections with communists, abut his feelings regarding Maclean, about fairness of a decision of Foreign Office to ask for his resignation... Very interesting - completes the newsreel story.

Reading a good book about him now called 'a spy among friends' riveting read
Who was his dentist?
Use this comment if you're here after reading 'A Spy Among Friends'
If you're interested in Oleg Gordievsky, this anecdote may be of interest. John le Carré described Ben Macintyre's fact based novel, The Spy and The Traitor, as "the best true spy story I have ever read". It was about Kim Philby's Russian counterpart, a KGB Colonel named Oleg Gordievsky, codename Sunbeam. In 1974 Gordievsky became a double agent working for MI6 in Copenhagen which was when Bill Fairclough aka Edward Burlington unwittingly launched his career as a secret agent for MI6. Fairclough and le Carré knew of each other: le Carré had even rejected Fairclough's suggestion in 2014 that they collaborate on a book. As le Carré said at the time, "Why should I? I've got by so far without collaboration so why bother now?" A realistic response from a famous expert in fiction in his eighties!
Gordievsky never met Fairclough, but he did know Fairclough's handler, Colonel Alan McKenzie aka Colonel Alan Pemberton. It is little wonder therefore that in Beyond Enkription, the first fact based novel in The Burlington Files espionage series, genuine double agents, disinformation and deception weave wondrously within the relentless twists and turns of evolving events. Beyond Enkription is set in 1974 in London, Nassau and Port au Prince. Edward Burlington, a far from boring accountant, unwittingly started working for Alan McKenzie in MI6 and later worked eyes wide open for the CIA. What happens is so exhilarating and bone chilling it makes one wonder why bother reading espionage fiction when facts are so much more breathtaking.
Len Deighton and Mick Herron could be forgiven for thinking they co-wrote the raw noir anti-Bond narrative, Beyond Enkription. Atmospherically it's reminiscent of Ted Lewis' Get Carter of Michael Caine fame. If anyone ever makes a film based on Beyond Enkription they'll only have themselves to blame if it doesn't go down in history as a classic espionage thriller.
It's a thrilling escape story.
Philby says he last knowingly spoke to a communist in 1934. In truth his first wife was one. She converted him and escaped from Vienna with him that year. They stayed in England together until Philby went to the Spanish war in 1937, but saw each other occasionally until they were divorced in 1946. So unless you take his answer 'knowing HE was a communist' very literally...
Fantastic Philby! Genius!
Hij zag dat zonder het communisme het onmogelijk was om het fascisme te verslaan.
He looks as guilty as heck, what we would call his body language is suspicious, and his hair is horribly greasy
Could not agree more.Forget the Polygraph just look at his face. Christ he could have been head of MI6 and it prob took the Russians 3 minutes to turn him.He couldn't even fake it.
His hair's not greasy, he's got Brylcreem on it.
@@MR-mc6rjI mean, he was never really “turned”-he was a Soviet agent the entire time he was working for the British intelligence service
Kim made absolute fools of the englanders not so secret service
Хотела посмеяться, но... Филби это человек Мира! Он один из тех людей, который повернул ход войны.
Курская дуга, Прохоровка!
Низкий ему поклон от русских людей! ❤️❤️❤️
Oleg Gordievsky did like wise!
As well as the CIA. Dulles's right hand man was best friends with Philby, as well as a few Nazi's left over in west Germany.
And of Angleton at CIA. A guy named Harvey at CIA, had he been listened to, would have ended Philby’s career late, but years earlier than it ended. How people like ANGLETON and Nicholas Elliot kept their positions even after the Philby affair, is a testament to the concept of rising to the level of your utter incompetence.
@@charleshendrix232 Kim was amazing as were his colleagues, including Elliott and White . England absolutely deserved to be betrayed. Deal with it
Anyone read the book about his dad "Philby of Arabia"?
0:05 my goodness that hair lol
I know, and its notable because in the book “A Spy Among Friends” the author describes this press conference and says “Philby appeared, sober and freshly barbered…”. I then found this. He looks hung over and like he hasn’t seen a barber in 8 months
@@charleshendrix232 that’s really interesting, thanks! I was actually referring to the photographer haha but that’s cool to know!
@@charleshendrix232 and I agree he definitely looks like he’s been through it
His hair's not greasy, he's got Brylcreem on it.
@@crookedserpent666 I mean, semantics. Though, I appreciate your reply bc I didn’t know that’s what it’s called. I knew it was literal grease lol but cool to actually know what it was. Thanks man
No trace of his notorious stammer, but his gaze is not directed at the questioners and his eyes shift rapidly from side to side.
The more I study the antics of these overgrown schoolboys (on both sides, to the extent that there are sides) the more I agree with AJP Taylor that 90% plus of espionage is b.s. financed by taxpayers to whom there is little accountability. The money would be better spent on reading between the lines of official publications and monitoring broadcasts than on cloak-and-dagger ops, which in Philby's day were ways of keeping WW2 veterans out of mischief.
Spying is a huge makework scheme for the more disreputable elements of the middle class left over from the era of conventional ground warfare and imperialistic divide-and-rule tactics. Now that wars are dying out as a means of gaining economic advantage (despite the efforts of arms manufafturers and globalist financiers) and soft power has supplanted the Great Game on both sides of the Iron Curtain, connivers such as Philby seem as out of date in their methods as in their faith in murderous, primitive, scientistic ideology. They may have reveled in the feeling that they were fooling their bosses, but Time has made fools of spies.
7What was it all for? Communism did not fall bc of brilliant detective work and propaganda. It discredited itself by its failure to deliver the goods, causing its children and grandchildren- such as a bright young KGB analyst named Putin- to look for another way.
Esmee Philips You have far too much time on your hands.
Communism rocks.
Spying certainly worked well for the Soviet Union.
Very true.
Perhaps the only honest man in England. He could have had an easy life. Born with a silver spoon he could sail through life in England but he decided to sacrifice all of that for his belief in something better (allegedly) . Not many men have that sort of conviction
I suggest you remember to take your medication.
He enjoyed his silver spoon very much while he helped keep millions in poverty behind the iron curtain
I would skin him alive if I could 😭
@@champagne.future5248 I think you have no idea of how much alleviation of poverty happened during the Communist regime. Maybe you should look at the numbers before the Bolsheviks. Most parts of Russia were positively feudal and mediaeval.
@@ShubhamBhushanCC Compare one side of the iron curtain to the other. Turns out there was a better way to alleviate poverty than seizing property, murdering and enslaving millions, and denying the right to freedom of speech, worship, movement, association etc.
People saying Philby was so wonderful might answer why Philby tried to kill himself in Moscow. He clearly was miserable and knew his entire life was one big mistake
He was an utter loser and a disgrace. When your associates and friends are the KGB and the Stasi, you know you are trash.
Philby's facial movements show he's lying at each point of making a clear lie. His lower jaw makes a grotesque slight movement and also he clearly does an internalised smirk to himself when he makes two statements one regarding haven't knowingly spoken to a communist since 1934, and also he laughs inwardly when he states, it doesn't help the security service for its work to be publicly talked about....the whole sentance unspoken being...."or helps our security service to have a lying Russian spy like me in charge of the Russia station."
What an outstanding person, a pacifist, antifascist - a true hero of mankind!
🚩
This guy had bad teeth that’s all I know. In black and white
Of course he did, he's british
An establishment figure who was a big liar and the worst sort of traitor ..K Philby
A hero for the entire world❤ sent thousands of fascists and nazis to die in Albania, they thought they were doin something😂
