    Richard Widmark's "IN-House" Misfire...Drearily Dynamic Locations...Confusing and Flat

    Certainly has the Feel of a "Backwards" Stagnant Locale with the Police-State Lurking In and Out of Baroque Buildings.

    The Characters All Have a Suspiciously Worried, Frowning Attitude with No-Non-Sense Brutality Against Any Who Dare Question Authorities.

    When They Put On an "Act" of Welcome, it is More Like a Comedy Sketch than a Practiced Con. For that Matter, Widmark's "Acts" are just as Silly and Transparent.

    Neither Does the Film Any Good at Maintaining Suspense or Intrigue.

    John "Johnny" Williams First Full-Fledged Score is OK Full of Sudden Blaring and Bombastic "Stings".

    The 3rd Act has Most of the Action and Sadism, both a Staple of the Bad Commies in these Cold-War Types.

    Getting There may be a Slog for Some as the Film is Slightly Dated by its Verbosity Not Violence.

    Film Debut, in a Small Role, is Santa Berger. Widmark's Wife at the Time, Writes Her One and Only Screenplay.

    The Story is Somewhat of a Mess to Sort Through, as Things Go Undefined and Loose Ends are Fraying Everywhere.

    Not Bad, but Doesn't Rise to the Best of Richard Widmark or Phil Carlson.

    With Low Expectations...

    Worth a Watch.

    Lukewarm Cold War drama

    This typical Cold War spy thriller, full of impossible to understand plot turns, bad guys and bad girls who turn to be good, maybe, doesn't have much going for it except Max Greene's (Mutzy Greenbaum) dazzling B&W deep focus photography and one of John Williams' first atmospheric scores. Phil Karlson, the director, who occasionally made a decent film, was hired and then fired by star/producer Richard Widmark who mostly snarls. Karlson does an OK job with the confusing script, but this is no THIRD MAN. If you stop trying to figure out what the hell is going on, and just watch the imagery, worth your while. Added bonus: Lots of excellent European character actors looking sinister and the luscious Senta Berger looking delicious in one of her first English language roles.

    Lots of dark streets, corridors, buildings, cobblestones, and plenty of atmosphere

    This is not a superior Cold War thriller but it has its moments, and so much of it was shot on location in Vienna and elsewhere that we get excellent atmosphere. The action takes place in Budapest under the Communists, and all the dark streets at night have no streetlights, no cars, no people. All the streets are cobblestone gleaming in the moonlight, a seemingly endless succession of them considering all the chase and escape incidents in the film. Richard Widmark produced this film, as an excellent vehicle for himself as the hero, and he also directed part of it. It is based on a story by Alistair MacLean. The lead girl is played by Sonja Ziemann, who in real life was married to the actor Charles Regnier who plays "The Count" in the film. Widmark has been sent to find and fetch an anti-Communist resistance leader back to Austria, since the Communists want to torture and kill him. All the action is standard Cold War stuff, though that is not to say it is inaccurate. The action is frenetic and intense. We also don't know for a long time who the good guys are and who the bad guys are. It is well worth reminding ourselves what things were like in Eastern Europe then, lest we forget.

    High on talk....low on action.

    "The Secret Ways" is a Cold War-era thriller with far fewer thrills than I'd anticipated. Most of the time, folks just talk and talk and talk and I can't help thinking it should have been better.

    The film stars Richard Widmark as Michael Reynolds, an American adventurer who will do all sorts of things for a buck. His latest assignment is to spirit a leader of the Hungarian underground movement following the unsuccessful Hungarian revolt against the USSR in 1956.

    For much of the film, Widmark hangs around Vienna and talks a lot...punctuated by a beating from some thugs. When he goes to Budapest, the same pattern pretty much continues...with lots of talking and communist party officials hanging about him as he tries to move about the city in search of the man he is supposed to slip out of the Iron Curtain. Along for the ride is the confusingly written daughter of the man he is trying to save.

    The best thing about this film is probably the wonderful black & white cinematography. It has a noir sort of look and really was lovely. As far as the story and acting go, they take a back seat to the images you see of the cities (of course, being an anti-communist film, they didn't really film in Hungary). As far as thrills go, the movie is just fair...and nothing more. I think it really needed more action and less sarcastic dialog from Widmark. Additionally, Widmark's character seemed to have no real plan...as if you could just easily flee from Budapest to freedom! In fact, it was comically easy...too easy...so much that it really hurt the story. Overall, not too bad...but more of a time-passer than anything else.

    The Secret Ways

    Richard Widmark was quite good in these wartime gun-for-hire stories. In this one, he features well as the slightly smug American "Reynolds" who is drafted in by the Hungarian resistance to try and smuggle a renowned scientist from Soviet-occupied territory to the safety of Vienna. Upon arrival - posing as a journalist - his best laid plans hit one pretty unexpected snag - the old fella "Jansci" (Walter Rilla) doesn't actually want to go. Luckily, the man's daughter "Julia" (Sonja Zieman) is on board but they are still going to have one heck of a job staying one step ahead of the suspicious authorities whilst they persuade the old chap to flee with them. There is quite a decent plot here, a certain degree of chemistry between Widmark and the lively Zieman but some of the escapades are truly far-fetched (especially towards the conclusion with a brave but implausible prison break featuring the "Count" (Charles Regnier)). That said, most of this is a quickly paced and lively action thriller with sparing use of dialogue and a fair degree of menace from the pen of established writer Alistair MacLean. Apparently John Williams was behind some of the effective score, and the photography is suitably dark and grainy adding quite a bit of atmosphere to this decent cold war thriller.

    • Zitate

      Jancsi: That would be convenient wouldn't it? You've made arrangements, certain plans to deliver me from my enemies into the hands of Herr Scheffler. You overlooked one thing only - I don't choose to leave my country.

      Michael Reynolds: Sir, you don't have a choice, your time is up.

      Jancsi: If that is so, Mr Reynolds, I'll die here.

      Michael Reynolds: Why do you have to die? What for? I don't believe in it. Look, I came here to save your neck and I'm going to do it, even if you don't want it saved.

      Jancsi: Whatever I do with my life is my own business. No one else's.

      Michael Reynolds: Oh, you don't understand. In an few days you won't have a life.

      The Count: We know our position better than you do.

      Michael Reynolds: No, you don't! Scheffler is a pipeline. If he says I've got two days to get you out, you've got two days. Now, you can wait here like sitting ducks or you can do something. But there's a way out. If you're reasonable, you'll take it.

      Jancsi: There's no profit for you, don't bother about that.

      Michael Reynolds: Alright, I'm being paid. I know you'd like it better if I was some great humanitarian who believed in your cause. Well, I don't even know what your cause is.

      The Count: That shouldn't surprise us.

      Michael Reynolds: Well, who does outside this room? You could yell your heads off, nobody'd hear you. They aren't listening. They're all like me, I promise you; they couldn't care less. Causes are outmoded. Everybody's learned to live by compromise. Why can't you?

      Jancsi: There isn't any compromise. To compromise is to doubt your own convictions. If they're worth having, they're unshakeable.

      Michael Reynolds: Convictions are fine, if you live.

      Jancsi: Mr. Reynolds, if I can live one day to save one person, that's enough.

      Michael Reynolds: But you can do more than that on the outside. Unless you're determined to die a a martyr. And a crackpot!
