God, what an awful movie!
1989 doesn't seem all that long ago, what a different world we experienced, the 70s,80s and 90s, can't imagine how the older gens see today, must be heartbreaking what's become of society.
Society has gone down the pan in a handcart , Im69 and it seems to get worse every day . Tech wise we might be ahead but the average intelligence level has plummeted
@@UserUser-ww2nj Every generation seems to think the nonsense you do....and they are always wrong.
@@Steelmage99 Try watching some of the street interviews . Watched one a while ago and people were saying that Portugal was in South America plus the average American does not know how many stars there on their flag and it's not just Americans but it seems to be worse there than anywhere else
@@UserUser-ww2nj Street interviews? That's your argument?
Sigh....maybe you are right. People like you _do_ seem less intelligent these days....
Yes indeed
R.I.P. George Segal who died March 23 of this year at the age of 87. I always liked Mr. Segal.
I'll 2nd that.
@@fokkerd3red618 So will I.
I recall an old movie of George Segal 'King Rat" Brilliant War Crime Movie.
@@hendrikasunqrout571 Yes, I remember that.
I didn't know about his passing after complications from bypass surgery and I present here my humble respects to a consistently 1st class actor and entertainer. Hey Pops, we will miss your banjo playing and your infectious laugh!
What a fabulous cast …they don’t make them like this anymore……Mainly English actors of course….Thank you for this …..
Brilliant script, written and directed by Bryan Forbes, who also wrote the novel. Bryan Forbes was an English film director, screenwriter, film producer, actor and novelist described as a "Renaissance man" and "one of the most important figures in the British film industry". Forbes also wrote and directed Kim Stanley and Richard Attenborough in "Seance on a Wet Afternoon", George Segal in "King Rat", Alan Bates and Hayley Mills in "Whistle Down the Wind." He was a prolific writer and producer, who was the first head of EMI Films, the British Government's attempt to revive the failing film industry. All his films feature great classic dramatic writing, without the use of special effects or explicit sexual or violent content. Good actors flocked to work for him.
Quite right. - thank you for this information for the benefit of a younger generation. But you forgot to mention also that Bryan Forbes' wife (of a very long-standing and happy marriage), the beautiful classically-trained actress Nanette Newman, also appeared in many of his films - including this one !
Thank you for these details and the concise summary of Forbes's work. I have seen King Rat (1965) which also featured George Segal. I am now prompted to see more of this director's work.
@@colinphillips7016 He also directed other strange films : The L-Shaped Room and The Stepford Wives
( that featured his wife Nanette Newman )
His daughter was a TV presenter in the 90s and I remember she did a show called talking telephone numbers. She presented it with Philip scofield, but I don't know why Emma forbes quit TV.
Great movie and cast. The music by Ennio Morricone superb as always.
Fabulous cast. In addition to Finney, Segal and Thomas there was also Anthony Quayle and Ian Holme.
Those days!! Albert Finney, Alan Bates, Tom Courtney and the girls, Julie Christie, Shirley Anne Field, June Ritchie, Rita Tushingham. A golden era for British Films.
ABSOLUTE;Y !
Fabulous actors, fine voices. You can tell what they are saying. End or near end of an era, I’m sorry to say
i'm an actor and I work on diction and voice quality with my film roles. Hope this kind of acting continues
A Good Watch. This and others like it: Quiller Memorandum, Tinker Tailor, Smileys People, Spy Who Came in From The Cold, Ipcress Files, Funeral In Berlin, Billion Dollar Brain are tops in their Genre. Have to say favorite is Burton in Spy Who Came In From The Cold. The grainy black and white nastiness of in your face close ups of Burton and his cynical/nasty delivery of his lines is worth the watch. Thanks for posting this great movie.
I saw The Spy Who Came in from the cold maybe in 1966 when I was 8 .
Of course depressing to an American girl but I guess it was around then that my mother really started explaining more about the Iron Curtain countries to me .
I know I had heard that phrase when I was five or six but it wasn't until I saw that movie I had a better understanding of people willing to risk getting shot to risk living in freedom .
I agree this beats out an old james bond flick any day. Thank you for sharing this espionage gem!
You know it is going to be good when Albert Finney and George Segal are in it! Brill!
Interesting how the word "good" has changed usage from "that with furthers the intention of the Creator" to "that which seduces us into taking our mind off of the Creator".
@@trukeesey8715 get over youself Tru!
@@fionastevenson6019 That's a way of refusing to look at the truth of the statement. Why turn a "blind eye" and simultaneously cast false blame on another? Why be a false person, rather than a true one?
@@trukeesey8715 it is a brilliant film. Nothing more. I was commenting on the great actors.
@@trukeesey8715 once again, get over yourself. Stop being so pretentious
Best espionage film I have ever seen.
Outstanding plot and acting performances ❤
R.I.P George Segal
Great film. Albert Finney brilliant as usual. Rip.Brian Forbes similar genre to Le Carre and Deighton. Only the Brits can write truly convincing, full of intrigue, spy stories.
Yes👍👍
They were the absolute masters of all kinds of movies from the beginning until recently, when all movie making went down the toilet.
I could not understand what was happening.
Albert finney what an actor loved 'Saturday night Sunday morning'.
Excellent cast and movie. So nice to hear the English language spoken so well……in it. Smile.
First class rating as to acting, script, suspense. Do I miss MM.FINLEY AND SEAGAL!!!!thank you to merit your high quality selecting the posts you send us . CHEERS
When actors were actors
Great film and acting, and music by the Italian composer, Ennio Morricone!
As said by other subscribers a golden age . Albert Finney , Saturday night Sunday morning , George Segal with other talented actors together made this great spook film. Please keep them coming. Thanks/regards. Dave
Yes I remember those depressing social realism films from Great Britain and seeing them on TV as a kid in the 60s and 70s ... they were good movies that have a way of pulling you in it's just that they were so depressing , often .
One of the very last, fine Cold War films. I almost miss those days.
VG film, although I needed to watch it twice. Congrats to Bryan Forbes, both for his writing and his direction.

Excellent movie-such great casting. So glad I found this channel.
Vert good. Finney is an outstanding actor.
Please name some other good movies of Finney.
@@naveenchandrapathak9274 "Good" is subjective. I cannot therefore help you.
@@byronelenica8329 Atleast You took the time to reply. That's enough for me . I will do the search as usual.
@@naveenchandrapathak9274 Erin Borkovitch - Saturday Night and Sunday Morning. Finney is highly revered by the British.
@@naveenchandrapathak9274 Tom Jones, The Dresser, Under the Volcano, The Browning Version.
Enjoyed the film, love the cold war stuff, and the cast was excellent. Thanks for posting it.
"Game goes on, Alex."
Excellent movie.👌
If Kristin Scott Thomas is in the movie, I'm definitely watching.
Me too! She’s a class act….
@@jinka6171 She's especially beautiful in this movie.
She is one hell of a sexy lady….Very beautiful….
Jesus wept. Hurrah! Look forward to seeing some good films. Enjoying this one, which I had never heard of. Terrific cast.
I am with you. I mean to watch good movies.
When you pop up, I immediately like and share because I know it will be good when I get the time to watch
Thoroughly enjoyed this. However, having checked IMDB, it was, originally, a two part,TV, drama with a total duration of 3 hrs, 20 mins. Obviously this upload is a very abridged version of the original. Not having watched the original version, I was able to absorb and enjoy what was presented. However, I did feel that some continuity and, therefore, explanation as to how certain situations arose, was lacking. Oh well, it is free to view and beggars can't be choosers. Thanks for the upload and, for anyone reading this comment, watch and enjoy.
Bla bla bla
Sir, you have a point there :)
@@brianfreel1473 So why are you wasting our time?
Blahblahblah
Thanks for the background. I had never heard of it.
A *_N I C E_* new upload JW... Definitely an "absorbing" espionage suspense thriller. Finney and Segal were perfect opposites *_AND_* adversaries! 👌
It's one those Preferred Films blending live action with 'memory sequences' that require your Full Attention in order to Connect-The-Dots.... 😋
Great ENDING..... from where the film was rightfully entitled!!! 👍
Loved this
The cold blooded KGB not much in evidence.
Today's Russia quite altered... even more brutal definitely less intelligent
🎉🎉🎉
A super movie.. Albert Finney.. one of the best
🎉🎉🎉
GOOD MOVIE!!!! Thoroughly enjoyed it.
Intriguing movie, right till the end.
This was an excellent film. Thanks for making it available.
Wow... I drifted off and awoke to Lemas and "the Spy Who Came In from the Cold"
As a therapist whose worked in many nursing homes here in NJ/PA...I can say, even I. 1989, the idea that a facility would allow the door to be closed to patients rooms is nonsense. The general idea besides observations by the staff, is safety.
Fall are prevented by judging posture and alertness while the pt is seated.
I guess this was contrived for the script. To have 3 cognitively impaired patients in a closed room is ridiculous. Cant believe the UK would have allowed that.
Other wise, thanks for the film
Omg, you know absolutely nothing about British nursing homes at all!!
I could tell you things I've seen and you wouldn't believe me!
So I won't even try!
The set up in this film is based on a very good nursing home with excellent care, compare with what I had seen.
@@E-Katso is it really different in the UK ? I'm asking sincerely because those of us in America only know the system we have here , if we haven't visited others or known of others in those countries who have been put in nursing homes and assisted living .
thank you so much for the movies. could not afford any extra right now, Very grateful. Have a great weekend..
'After he came in from the cold, he seemed to have lost his touch.' (57:59) Intentional giveaway, for the whole film smells of John Le Carré's 'The Spy Who Came in from the Cold' -- even his first name Alec is the same as Alec Leamas's of that novel; even the chalet in the mountains. Kristin Scott Thomas is one of those several English actresses gorgeous like only English actresses are.
Just about a carbon copy of SWCIFC.
The biggest similarity is the entre to prison to establish disaffection from the Circus(really is the same universe as Smiley would inhabit).
I love watching espionage movies and this was excellent thank you for the download.
Segal & Finney look OLD for the year...
Liked the ending!
Liked the realistic ending!
Aaaand… music is by Ennio Morricone, none the less! By Jove, tv was worthwhile back in the days!
Two exceptional actors... entertaining story.
An amalgamation - bordering on a piracy - of Carre's Smiley tales.
I like Mr. Segal as a good character actor n all.
Great cast, they don’t make them like this any more…all these great actors nearly all gone ….
Great movie 🎥 and very good cast! Thanks for sharing 👍
Beautiful Nanette Newman is still with us as I write 20th April 2024. Lovely actress, and Bryans wife and Mum to Emma and Sarah. The Raging Moon will always be a favourite!
Surprisingly well-executed for what seems a derivative of the several Le Carre novels and movies. It hardly veers from the template Le Carre created, and yet still very compelling with a first-rate cast. As noted, there are some gaps as if it had been abridged, and yet that was actually a hallmark of the genre to begin with: nothing spoon-fed to the viewer in terms of understanding the relationships and plot.
Graham Greene was the master of the spy genre
It is Based on Bryan Forbes's Own Spy Thriller Novel "The Endless Game'" Which is the First Book of His "Alec Hilsden" Trilogy....The Other Two Books are "A Spy at Twilight" and "Quicksand", In Bryan Forbes's Books the Head of British Secret Service is Called 'Control' Which is Similar to Le Carre's "George Smiley" Series.
Yeah. No transitions in Le Carre films.
@@paulhoward6165I love this writer too. Read almost all his books. He was working for Intelligence service and probably thats why it is so interesting to read him.
I'm glad, I didn't have to sweat to write this! Thank you.
Excellent film, thank you...
RIP George Segal
I didnt understand anything, only how she got mad, just that.
Terrific! All around terrific! Thanks!
Formidable, una gran película. El casting impecable, la trama excelente, igual la dirección. Hoy es imposible lograr películas de este nivel.
Little makes sense for the whole first hour, making this a waste of time. I'm 1/2 way through watching it for the 2nd time in a out 2 years, and so far it's no better than the 1st time I saw it. Some films do improve on 2nd watching, but not this one. Instead of 2 hours, it should have been just 1 hour. I'm quitting half way through. Big names do not necessarily mean that the movie will be good. Finney does his best, but the terrible, slow moving plot full of holes is a disaster. It might be a good book, but I do not recommend this movie.
Since you didn't like e thru that time, one wouldn't expect you to understand. Plot twists are a huge part of spying and espionage.
@@bennettjones9696well you should at least be able to understand them or figure them out, at some point. I didnt understand a thing in 2 hrs.
Nostalgic, great movie and cast.👍🙏
What a job rustling up all those Extras for a 10 second shot.
Now, CGI imaging will solve this
Enjoyable movie; most of the way through the second half I was thinking " who's next? "
Definitely kept me on the edge of my seat.
To murder your sincere mutual lover is a NAH!
YOU BET !
Excellent movie, they don't make them like this any more. Liked and subscribed.
So he stayed loyal to his love not his country, brilliant, compelling.
Nanette Newman was a beautiful woman and actress
Excellent.. Thank you.
Fantastic soundtrack.
Great actors - Albert Finney and George Segal - directed by Brian Forbes, yet this spy movie is very pedestrian and unengaging.
But of a shame really.
Great cast. Competent cinework. All let down by a weak paranoid script, more crooked than a Tory politician.
I usually like to pop in and make my comment on the first half of the movie I see this organization very strong no it's extremely strong enough to find a witness that said he looks like the Prince's murder
This corporation can hide anyone on this earth and with that said they are so sincere to one another no one will ever leak out any information
if it were a book I was reading I wouldn't put it down or turn the edge of the pages for a pause mark.
Totally awesome story i
Am enjoying it quite a bit and even more with no interruption with that said I'll be back for the final comment at the end on with the movie Tata for now 🙋🏽
All these great Actors together in one movie!!
Morricone for the soundtrack.....I ve heard it after a few seconds
Sounds as if he phoned it in.
This is really old, street kids saying “thank you”
No they were playing cricket, a sport that breeds manners ,
What makes you think poor people have bad manners? I never really saw bad manners until I went to a university and met rich kids. I learned privilege meant you didn't expect consequences for bad behavior. Believe me, my parents and grandparents, as they had learned from theirs, expected you to behave properly to both family, friends and strangers or there were consequences. The kids in my family learn that lesson now. I still obey the rules of courtesy as a sign of respect for others. However, if you disrespect someone who believes in those rules the consequences are entirely on you. The kids live in a crappy neighborhood without a cricket pitch because that's all ther parents can afford on their wages. Perhaps they put their money towards food and education before housing. The kids have to play where they can. Learn some respect.
Kristin Scott Thomas is a beautiful lady. Not only is she acts believably in Horse Whisperer and this film. She has the full package.😊 Albert Finley was in his youth handsome up to old age in Erin Brocovitch❤
Great from Bryan Forbes.
Missed it either on television or released on the big screen.
Like Richard Attenborough, Forbes started out in supprting rôles and as a director aftetwards with 'King Rat' also starring G. Segal and 'Whistle Down the Wind' with Hayley Mills and Alan Bates among his best.
Was 'The Pumpkin Eater' also his? Saw it much too long ago.
Looked it up: Jack Clayton helmed 'The Pumpkin Eater'.
'The Whisperers' and 'The L-Shaped Room' were also notable movies from director Forbes.

Enjoyed the movie. Thanks.
I never cease to be amazed at the lack of realism in films which obviously amuse people. It must contribute to mental instability in the general population.
So I guess you've been a spy during the cold war era and you know what really goes on behind the scenes .
People coming to these comments would like to hear more of what you know about the reality of such things
👍Good movie terrific cast 👏 thanks for sharing with us. 🇬🇧
Hi
That inevitable phrase ‘ Coming in out of the cold’ sets the scene for the entire genre of Cold War spy movies, when even if the hero survives the final scene, it leaves you wondering, ‘ For how long?’ Because of the role Richard Burton immortalised in ‘ The spy who came in from the cold’.
Shalom to us only in Christ Yeshua returning soon to reign over the world from Jerusalem.
With music by Ennio Morricone!
This turned out to be a pretty good film..!
JUST THE TICKET!Enjoyable.
Let me tell ya ,I smply loved me some Georg Segal a wonderful Actor
Thanks 4 movie; in the foot steps of George Smiley & Tobey Esterhase Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy.
Thank you
Thanks you
Thank you a million times for uploading this I really really appreciate it ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏
It's tedious the expression, idea, "make love."
It's contradictory, "make love."
You make a pie, lasgna, pizza, ice cream.
Ah, the good ol' Cold War days! What do we call it today?
Fake news?
@@pter7531 👏
Thank you for Great movies and an Excellent channel!
Great to see (at least some of this intriguing tale). However back in 1989 it was a 2 part TV series around 3hrs 20min.
In most of these films, the women are inevitably far younger than the men.
That's because they were born earlier.
Excellent film, thank you for uploading!
A Great classic a very strong story and cast ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Great movie George Segal
Well, it is a spy movie ,ok. But it is not a spy thriller. There is no thrill in it.
WOW !!! Thank you for posting another geat movie on your channel.
That was great! Much better than I expected it to be.
What were you expecting. And what you got.
With all these fabulous actors …what we’re you expecting???? These people were the best…Just look what we have today .
Ahhh it's a made for television film;
I am seeking to learn the name of a British spy movie, where the spy used Syntax explosives; he threatened to blow up a school and used syntax in a car bombing that was set off by another vehicle trying to park on a crowded street by intentionally bumping into this vehicle. He killed or other spies were killed on a train. the movie was made in the 1970"s or 80:s. i saw this movie as a veteran in 1988
Hard to concentrate on the movie when there's music playing in the background..??
cliff longlands ,wonderful ,a real classic , by real fantastic actors .thanks Jesus Wept , I need more of then from you cliffxx
Thank you so much for this. Intriguing!!
Thanks for potsing
George died in 2021 age 87: he died of heart by-pass complications: he was married 3 times, had 2 children: his ancestry were Russian Jews; both maternal and paternal side of his family.
