The Knack and How to Get it

Unbelievable!!! Nobody said 'Riot On Sunset Strip'!!!! OR 'Hot Rods To Hell'!!!

Has anyone seen the film "Subterfuge"? I remember seeing it really late at nigh a couple of years ago on a network channel but I haven't seem to be able to find anything about it on the interweb. Can any of you help me out?

One of my favourite 60s flicks is THE DEFECTOR (1966). Director: Raoul Levy. Starring: Montgomery Clift, Hardy Kruger, Roddy McDowall & Macha Meril. Not yet available on DVD or video, but occasionally shown on TV. I video-taped it in 1993.

I like this film for its atmospheric portrayal of Cold War East Germany and the ruthlessness of Soviet Communism. It is also worth watching for the brave performance of Montgomery Clift, who plays Professor James Bower. The plot is almost too complex for its own good, but definitely delivers in the last half hour or so. Clift had a rare combination of pin-up looks and a gift for acting that had been almost unprecedented in Hollywood. He pioneered what was later to become known as ‘method acting’; but had to keep his homosexuality secret throughout his life. “From Here To Eternity” in 1952 earned him not only an Oscar nomination, but acclamations for “the best role of his career”. 1961 had seen another Oscar nomination for his role as prosecution witness Rudolph Petersen in “Judgement At Nuremburg”. However, by 1966 he had slipped into relative obscurity and was an ill man.

An American physicist (Clift) is persuaded by his old friend (McDowall), a CIA agent, to take part in an undercover operation involving a scientist. After four years away from the spotlight, Clift was preparing himself for a role in “Reflections in a Golden Eye”. A lawsuit with a film company in 1962 had halted his already faltering film career. Loyal friend Elizabeth Taylor offered up her salary as compensation for casting him with her in “Reflections In A Golden Eye”. She had starred alongside him in “A Place in the Sun”, 1951, “Raintree County”, 1958, and “Suddenly Last Summer", 1959. Clift agreed to be in “The Defector”, essentially a B-film, in order to prove to the studio that he could still act. Leslie Caron was expected to be his leading lady, but she pulled out before filming began. Her part was played by the demure Macha Meril, who seemed to achieve a certain chemistry with Clift.

‘Monty’ took up the part with huge enthusiasm, taking with him his old acting coach Mira Rostova. He undertook the majority of his own stunts, despite suffering from many illnesses including arthritis, painkiller and alcohol addictions. Consequently, he was often exhausted at the end of a day's shooting. At times, he is somewhat overshadowed by the younger and more handsome Hardy Kruger, playing the part of Counsellor Peter Heinzman. Nevertheless, Clift’s performance was solid enough for the film’s purposes.

A slightly weak and predictable spy thriller, “The Defector” was poorly received by critics and the public. Marlon Brando would go on to take Clift’s role in 1967’s “Reflections in a Golden Eye”. Ironically, the director was John Huston, with whom Monty had feuded on “The Misfits” in 1961. Clift died of a heart attack four months later. He was forty five years old.

I'm suprised nobody mentioned the best spy flick of them all:"Diabolik" by Mario Bava, or any other Mario Bava movie for that matter! Like "Blood & Black Lace"! That one definately inspired Dario Argento to get ultra-violent much later in the 70's (Bava was way ahead of his time)! Here's a few of mine:
"Tonight Let's All Make Love In London"
"Maryjane"
"The Trip" come on y'all- Peter Fonday takes acid and sees his girlfriend in a dryer going round & round & round!
"Village of the Giants"
"The Tenth Victim"
"The Black Tights Killers"
All movies are available on the Internet Movie Database at imdb.com

British sixties flicks..."Blow Up", "Bunny Lake is Missing" with an appearance by The Zombies... and "Repulsion" by Polanski and "Georgie Girl" with Charlotte Rampling as the ultimate screwed-up, mean, swinging London mod chick.
