Resisting Enemy Interrogation (1944)
Compare This Picture with book "The Interrogator," by Raymond F. Toliver
Dear All,
Please read "The Interrogator," by Raymond F. Toliver. Toliver tells the true story of Hanns Joachim Scharff, one of the Luftwaffe's best P.O.W. interrogators. Sheer psychological tricks let him extract loads of information from his "guests." He tortured nobody because he did not need to do so. Years after the war, in the United States, some of these same men threw a party for him, despite the fact that several had felt severe remorse over having inadvertently disclosed so much.
How successfully a viewer of "Resisting Enemy Interrogation" could have withheld information from Scharff, I cannot say.
Sincerely,
Gordon F. Corbett
The Twilight Zone: King Nine Will Not Return (1960)
The name of Bob Cummings' character may be an in-joke.
Dear All,
"King Nine Will Not Return" is one of the very best episodes of "The Twilight Zone." The lead is "Captain James Embry," played by Bob Cummings. Captain Embry is a U.S.A.A.F. aircraft commander who wakes up in his B-25, "King Nine," which has crashed somewhere in a desert. He cannot remember how he came to be there; neither, despite searching for them frantically, can he find his crew.
When this episode was filmed, one of the best flight academies in the country was the "Embry-Riddle School of Aviation."
For its commander, King Nine's post-crash status is certainly an "Embry riddle"!
Sincerely,
Gordon F. Corbett
Running Blind (1979)
A retired British agent is recalled to service for a delivery in Iceland.
"Running Blind" is a wonderful movie. Its plot has several twists and turns, and the cast are more than good. I especially like the Icelandic female lead.
It concerns a retired British agent recalled to service for a delivery, and how, accompanied by his Icelandic girlfriend, he works at evading enemy pursuit.
This film's Icelandic location made it doubly interesting. Iceland is a beautiful country, but its landscape is very different from any other place I have seen, either in person or on film.
I hope that this film will be released in either VHS or DVD in the NTSC format, so that we in the United States can enjoy it once again.
