Review by RodrigAndrisan

I saw also directed by André De Toth "The Mongols" (1961)I mongoli (original title) with the one and only Jack Palance, a movie I liked when I was a teenager. Here in "Man on a String" we have the one and only Ernest Borgnine, another excellent actor, who delighted me in many films, especially in "Emperor of the North" (1973), with the great Lee Marvin, "The Wild Bunch" (1969), "All Quiet on the Western Front" (1979). I've seen him also in the excellent "Marty" (1955), with which he won the Oscar. Here he plays another complex role, in fact, a double role... All the other actors are very good, Kerwin Mathews probably in his best role, Colleen Dewhurst, very good too, etc. all of them. Just watch and judge for yourself!
