what a brilliant film (No words of course), A cold war spy thriller released in the USA 1952 15th October starring the suave Ray Milland. A spy in a cold war period,espionage,the last thing you will ever do is talk or as little as possible...A WORD WHISPERED IN THE EAR CAN BE HEARD FOR MILES. Chinese proverb...i don't think so
I do not need to add anything else that has not already been stated, except that some say why bring such high profile star with such a distinctive voice to star in a silent film, well simply it would not attract as much interest with the general public, if they were to star some completely unknown Johnny Lunch-bucket, you get my drift While in the field... it remains to risky you may be bugged recorded etc.......you don't want leave messages for anyone else to copy or pick them up........but why has this film never been released on DVD region 2. I do not really need to add to what has already been said about this film.........but anyone out there who has the means and power of authority and money, please sort out a DVD region 2. we don't all live in the USA.
