George-C.-Scott Movie Reviews

Ladislas Farago wrote the definitive biography of General George S. Patton back in the 70's.... which was the book upon which the film with George C. Scott was based. Even though Patton is a little older, fatter and wiser in this film, it still coveys the historical accuracy of the general's final days. Scott's portrayal of Patton has lost none of its personality and deserves its rightful place as volume two of the Patton story.

I FIND THAT GEORGE C. SCOTT PORTRAYED GENERAL PATTON EXCELLENTLY JUST AS IN THE ORIGINAL PATTON MOVIE.

IN THIS MOVIE,GENERAL PATTON IS SHOWN EXACTLY AS HE WAS IN LIFE,SOMEONE WHO WANTED TO ACCOMPLISH SOMETHING,AND SOMEONE WHO BUCKED AUTHORITY NO MATTER WHAT THE COST TO HIM WAS.

THE ONE THING IN THE MOVIE I FIND HARD TO BELIEVE HAPPENED IN REAL LIFE IS WHERE HE HAD HIS WIFE DEMONSTRATE AND DRIVE A TANK FOR HIS SUPERIORS.

OTHER THAN THAT,I RATE THE MOVIE VERY HIGHLY.

Actor George C. Scott delivers an encore performance of his most famous character: Lt. Gen. George S. Patton Jr. Just as the original "Patton" was based in part on Ladislas Farago's biography "Patton: Ordeal and Triumph," so too is the sequel based on Farago's second installment of the same title.It is ironic, perhaps that Scott seems tired in this follow-up role and does not deliver a tour de force comparable to his original performance. Then again, the real life Patton was also tired: relieved of command of his beloved Third Army for not being what today would be termed "politically correct," and instead placed in command of a "paper army" whose mission was to write the history of the Second WorldWar. Disgruntled with the turn his military career had taken, Patton was to return home, hang up his ivory-handled pistols for good and write a tell all memoir. A day of pheasant hunting in Germany was all that seperated Patton the soldier from Patton the civilian. The out-spoken general never made it. He suffered a broken neck en route in a silly fender-bender with an army 6 x 6 and died of complications twelve days later. In spite of Scott's subdued portrayal of Patton II, the scenes are superb; the supporting cast top-notch; and the story-line, including the usual amount of dramatic license, holds true to the facts. Throughout the film, the viewer is treated to flashbacks memories of Patton's earlier life as a child, as a young junior officer, and themes the first "Patton" dared not touch, such as Patton's supposed wartime affair with his wife's niece, a woman half the general's age. Unlike the first "Patton," these flashbacks give the film a true biographical feel. I was touched with the strength his wife Beatrice exhibited by her husband's side, reading to him from his favorite books by the likes of Napolean and other great captains while her injured husband lay with a head brace and fish hooks embedded in his scalp in an effort to support his shattered neck. If Scott gave us the mythical "Patton" in his first role, he also gave us the human "Patton" in his second. This DVD should be appart of the collection of anyone interested in this truely complex individual we have come to know simply as Patton.

"The List of Adrian Messenger" is a superb thriller starring Kirk Douglas and George C. Scott. Adrian Messenger (John Merivale) is mysteriously killed in a plane crash and Anthony Gethryn (George C. Scott) who is a friend of the family is asked to investigate. Gethryn had been given a list of names by Messenger at the house prior to Messenger's fatal plane journey. The men named on the "list" are all being murdered one by one and Gethryn has to use all his investigative powers to try to track down the killer and stop him before others on the list are also murdered. More murders do take place and Gethryn is assisted by Raoul LeBorg (Jacques Roux) and Lady Jocelyn Bruttenholm (Dana Wynter) to solve the mystery. Your enjoyment of the film is enhanced by the appearance of several famous stars in cameo roles (all heavily disguised) and part of the fun is to identify who they are before the final "unmasking" at the end of the movie! Kirk Douglas also appears in many disguises throughout the film and seemed to be enjoying his various roles. The fine supporting cast includes Herbert Marshall, Clive Brook and Gladys Cooper. The film was proficiently directed by John Huston who also appeared in the climatic hunting scene. "The List of Adrian Messenger" could be compared with the old fashioned mystery thrillers of the forties and is none the less enjoyable for that. It is like having Alfred Hitchcock and Agatha Christie combined in the one film!

Some favourite lines from the film:

John Merivale (to George C. Scott): "Anyway, if I'm right about this it's a far older sin than politics".

Herbert Marshall (to Scott): "If you really think that all these deaths were tied together it would involve a mass murder plot so preposterous as to defy belief".

Scott (to Jacques Roux): "When you count yourself in - you really mean in, don't you?".

Kirk Douglas (to audience): "Ladies and gentlemen - the end!".

Here is a puzzle for "movie buffs" to ponder over. Although audiences are led to believe that Tony Curtis, Robert Mitchum, Frank Sinatra and Burt Lancaster appear in disguise during the film (and indeed these stars are certainly "unmasked" at the end) I have a sneaking suspicion that we were fooled into thinking that ALL these stars were in the film and I am convinced that neither Frank Sinatra or Burt Lancaster actually took part in the film at all and only appeared at the end for the final unmasking! If you look closely it would seem very likely that other actors were used to stand in for Sinatra and Lancaster and that these two stars only came on at the end! Take a look at the film for yourself and see what you think. There is no doubt that Tony Curtis and Robert Mitchum were in the film as they could be easily recognised through the disguises. However, apart from this little deception "The List of Adrian Messenger" is an interesting and unusual film with good performances and is well worth seeing. Clive Roberts.

A quirky star studded film that packs a pretty good wallop in all departments. The acting is good, the plot is exciting with a few twists and turns here and there that keeps you pretty much on the edge of your seat. Not bad for a black and white film made in the 1960s. George C. Scott is Anthony Gethryn a retired MI5 agent who sets out to find the murderer of his friend Adrian Messenger. Just before he died Adrian, played ablely by John Merivale, gives his ex-MI5 friend a list of names, asking him to track them down. To Gethryn's surprise nearly all the men on the list are dead, only one, Jim Slattery (Robert Mitchum well disguised here!) is still alive but not for much longer. The film is a maze of questions and answers that slowly become more apparent as the film moves on. All the loose ends are carefully drawn together and the climax is exciting as it is well thought out. A good who-done-it that is well worth buying just because it is so different from most mystery-thrillers of its day.

Even as a black and white movie it is great. In fact the contrast of B&W makes it more like an art film and adds to the dark plot and mystery. The stellar cast is incredible and you won't recognize most of them until they remove their makeup at the end of the movie. The plot is great and the direction superb. Even the music is blended with the actions on screen excellently. It is like a darker version of one of the Agatha Christie movies, but no similarity to her stories. When retired General Anthony Gethryn, played by George C. Scott, investigates the mysterious deaths of several family members of stature he begins to see the common thread leading to the murders. The pace increases as he tries to determine the culprit behind the plot to assasinate a distinguished head of a family.

The DVD is great with commentary, bios, and original movie trailers. Did I say DVD? Silly me, I should have realized the studios don't want to put a great movie like this on DVD. They would rather have the Hillbilly Chainsaw Massacre of Pinup Girls on DVD.

As loveable rogue Mordecai Jones, George C. Scott endures bad community theatre make-up and inhales acres of gorgeous Southern scenery in this picaresque crowd-pleaser about a veteran con-man and his reluctant apprentice (Michael Sarrazin). Three years shy of the career-defining "Patton," Scott clearly relished the chance to let his hair down amid "Flim-Flam Man's" feel-good flood of chicanery, slapstick and car chases (this one has a couple of beauts). Sarrazin, a good actor who unfortunately never found his big break-out role, is fine as Curley, an Army deserter whose talent for larceny is undermined by a stubborn streak of honesty. Flaxen-haired beauty Sue Lyon, who epitomized, in the Sixties, the image of the girl you wished lived next door, is wholesomely alluring as Sarazzin's love interest. Rounding out the cast is a dizzying assemblage of fun character actors - Harry Morgan, Strother Martin, Alice Ghostley, Slim Pickens, Jack Albertson, Albert Salmi - whose presence makes for a lively game of "Name That Second Banana."

An unassuming curio from the same year (1967) as the iconoclastic "Bonnie and Clyde," "The Flim-Flam Man" is good-looking, well-acted, imaginatively directed (by Irvin Kershner, who later skippered "The Empire Strikes Back"), and wildly successful at its sole purpose: to entertain. Hollywood used to excel at this brand of lightsome fare. Today, hopelessly vulgarized and dumbed-down, and hell-bent on dragging the audience down to its level, Tinseltown wouldn't know where to begin to make a flick like this. That's everybody's loss.

Not too many people have heard of the 1967 film "The Flim Flam Man," and that's too bad for them. I have owned this lovely valentine of a movie for several years, and have always appreciated its comedic/dramatic allure. Everything clicks perfectly in this old fashioned film, from its authentic locations (this movie was filmed in small town Kentucky) to a wonderful musical score by Jerry Goldsmith.

I love George C. Scott's rip-snorting performance as a train-hopping con-man whose legend precedes him. He literally stumbles upon a military AWOL drifter in Michael Sarrazin, and the unlikely pair join forces to make a little cash. Camping in abandoned railroad cars, hiking cross country and stealing a car or two, this colorful pair eventually has the county police hot on their tails. Along the way, Sarrazin falls in love with the mayor's daughter, Slim Pickens loses his paycheck (great scene) and Scott samples a bit of the local moonshine.

"The Flim Flam Man" is aided by a cast of extraordinary character actors, including Harry Morgan, Jack Albertson, Strother Martin, Albert Salmi and Pickens. Morgan, as the local sheriff, is especially funny in a grand slapstick role. But director Irvin Kershner has done an excellent job in balancing comedy, drama and romance with skilled ease. It's the quieter moments in "The Flim Flam Man" that I truly admire, such as the scene when Scott reminisces about the purple-eyed girl he once loved in Missouri, or when Sarrazin discusses his dreams of the future with Sue Lyon.

This is such a charming movie, that each time I watch it I'm sad to see it end. "The Film Flam Man" transports us to a dreamy Southern land, colorful and optimistic, train whistles in the background, vibrant town squares, campfires beneath railroad bridges, bustling general stores. While this film was made in 1967, the small town ambiance of "The Flim Flam Man" harkens back to a time 30-40 years prior. It's a romantic recreation, in some ways a tender tribute to a past way of life. I always find the final image, of the abandoned bicycle resting at the railroad crossing, to be haunting, with Scott's character having disappeared to rustic parts unknown. I would love to join him on his journey.

For those anacquainted, "The Flim Flam Man" is a great discovery.

Most of us probably think of George C. Scott and think "Patton." In this movie he plays a character about as far removed from General George as you can get. Mordecai Jones is a con artist with a mission: to teach people (by "flim-flamming" them) not to give in to "greed and fourteen-karat ignorance." Jason "Curly" Treadaway, a farmboy who has deserted the Army after breaking the jaw of a mouthy Yankee sergeant, comes to his aid when he's thrown off a train. Since both are broke, Mordecai suggests that Curly shill for him long enough to accumulate a small stake. From this springs a partnership in which Curly, to his dismay, discovers he has a real gift for dishonest dealings. Tormented by conscience and shattered illusions, he still originates a plan to escape when the pair are finally run down and arrested--and then comes up with an even more audacious one to get Jones out, because, as he tells the girl he's fallen in love with, "he's my *partner*, and that means somethin'."

This movie lacks the slapstick that often characterizes comedy; there's a wild car chase (Jones and Curly in a convertible Mordecai has "borrowed," pursued by the local sheriff, turning their chariot into a "ramblin' wreck" and destroying a considerable portion of the town of Clayton in the process), but most of the film concentrates on Mordecai's schemes--everything from three-card monte and punchboards through the Pigeon Drop to an elaborate masquerade in which he manages to swap a truckload of moonshine for a mound of assorted merchandise. The supporting cast is especially good, with Harry Morgan shining as Sheriff Slade and Albert Salmi delightful as his young chief deputy, Meshaw. And while not for the morally ambivalent, it manages to bring up some important ethical issues. As Mordecai tells Curly, "You can't cheat a honest man!" With no sex or profanity to speak of, it could well serve as the launching point for some telling discussions with your kids about right and wrong, loyalty, and what honesty really is.

Charles Laughton, Bela Lugosi, and Richard Arlen star in this eerie and haunting classic. It's about a shipwreck named Edward Parker(Arlen)who comes to Moreau's(Laughton) island along with Moreau's asisstant Montgomery. There, he learns of Moreau's unholy experiments that produce horrible monsters, "manimals" if you will. On the island, he sees where the creatures live. Their leader, Sayer of the Law, is played wonderfully by Lugosi. He finds out that Moreau treats them as slaves, as if he were a god. When a rescue expedition comes to the island in search of Parker, Moreau orders one of his creatures, one called Ouran, to kill the expredition's leader. Once the creatures find out that the Law(not to spill blood) was broken by their creator, they revolt. And as Parker and his fiance flee the burning island, the creatures give Moreau what's been coming to him.(I won't give it away because it would spoil the movie, but it's well done and very scary!). The fantastic set designs make this film extremely good for a 1930's thriller. Hauntingly entertaining, ISLAND OF LOST SOULS is a monster classic for anyone to enjoy!

"Island of Lost Souls," the 1932 adaptation of H. G. Wells' "Island of Dr. Moreau," features Charles Laughton in one of the best mad scientist performances you are going to find. This is not the ranting mad genius personified by Colin Clive in "Frankenstein," but a much more tempered madman who provides less obvious hints as to his insanity. The story begins with Edward Parker (Richard Arlen) being rescued from the sea by the ship Covena, which is delivering animals in cages to Dr. Moreau's Island. After a fight with the ship's captain, Parker ends up on the island, where the good doctor takes his visitor into his home, after using his whip to scare away man-like creatures in the jungle. On his island retreat, Moreau has been experimenting with turning animals into creatures capable of speaking. With Parker on the island Moreau can find out if Lota (Kathleen Burke), who has been evolved from a panther, can bear a child. But when Parker discovers Moreau in his "house of pain," doing vivisection, the horrible truth of what is happening on the island comes out. Meanwhile, Parker's fiancé, Ruth (Leila Hyams), arrives looking for her beloved.

One of the most fascinating parts of this nightmarish film is how Moreau plays god with not only the bodies but also the minds of his creation. He has taught them "the law," which is not to walk on all fours and not to spill blood. As Bela Lugosi, playing the Sayer of the Law solemnly asks: "Are we not men?" It is when the animal-men come to a different answer to that question that "Island of Lost Souls" proves itself to be one of the best horror films of the 1930s. Director Erle C. Kenton does the most with the atmospheric setting, giving Laughton a perfect stage for his mad experiments. You will never recognize them, but both Buster Crabbe and Alan Ladd appear as beast men (yes, Randolph Scott is in the film, but he has a bit part as a "real" human). This story has been remade, as both uncredited versions (1959's "Terror Is a Man" and 1972's "The Twilight People") as well as under the novel's title in 1977, with Burt Lancaster as the title doctor, and again in 1996 with Marlon Brando. But with all things considered, "Island of Lost Souls" remains the best of the bunch, even though it offended the author. In fact, it was banned in England and parts of the United States (I assume because of the implied bestiality), which is always a strong recommendation that a horror film deserves to be checked out at least once.

The earliest and best H.G. Wells' adaptations is Island Of Lost Souls, based on The Island of Dr. Moreau. After being rescued from a lifeboat by the S.S. Covena, Edward Parker ends up on an island run by the mysterious Dr. Moreau and his assistant Montgomery. The Covena was delivering some animals, mostly dogs, for Moreau.

The island also has some pretty strange natives, who are hirsute and barely human. Fortunately, Moreau has a whip that scares them off. Apart from Moreau, Montgomery, and M'ling the servant, there's Lota, a ravishing young girl whom Moreau introduces to Parker. He is curious as to their interractions, as he secretly observes them.

The natives also have a strange ritual. Moreau asks them "What is the law?" To which they reply "Not to eat meat. That is the law. Are we not men?" And other replies. The leader of the natives says of Moreau: "His is the hand that makes/His is the hand that heals/His is the house of pain." Those who have read the book will know what's going on, but does not exactly follow it, as is the case with most future Moreau adaptations.

Charles Laughton plays Moreau in a variety of shades, far from the typical mad scientist. He's refined, reserved in speech (for the most part), and cunning. His smile, and that weird twinkle in his eyes lends the hint to his (Laughton's) homosexuality, but his performance here demonstrates why Hollywood decided to protect him.

Richard Arlen plays Parker as a bit of an uptight and conventional prude, and Leila Hyams as his fiancee Ruth is a perfect match for him.

Kathleen Burke is a wonder as Lota--pity she didn't appear in that many films. She gives a sensitive, sympathetic portrayal, speaking in a soft, child-like voice. If I were Parker, I'd dump Ruth for Lota anyday.

Bela Lugosi is barely recognizable in furry makeup as the leader of the natives, but once one sees those unmistakable eyes... one instantly recognizes the man who lost his identity playing Dracula ad nauseum. And whoever played the giant Ouran did so with great menace.

As this was made before the Hays Code, some of the scenes and implied dialogue on the island is strong for that era. That this was initially banned in many countries and in some parts of the U.S. is not surprising. Pity they don't make movies like this anymore, because it stands heads over many.

This movie seems to have gotten so little attention by the masses. It was released theatrically to practically no fanfare; it now sits on video store shelves collecting dust! It's too bad since the director (Franklin Schaffner) and star (George C. Scott) had collaborated before on the much better known "Patton" which brought them accolades and Oscars. Likewise, this little movie deserves much greater attention than what has been given it thus far.
The setting for this wonderful film is Bimini island right before America enters World War II. Scott plays an American expatriate artist haunted by two central themes: the unsettling situations in Europe and Asia and his two failed marriages. The latter is compounded when his three sons come to visit him, one of whom resents him deeply for abandonment.
As stated by other reviewers, I agree that the ending is a bit weak. But this doesn't undermine the impact the of the film's principle themes. Further, there are wonderful supporting performances including Julius Harris as Scott's endearing friend and sidekick and Clair Bloom as his first wife. Of course the undisputed star of this show is Scott himself in what is arguably his finest performance (I know he was superb as Patton, but this role seems more "custom fit" for him!). Two additional overlooked points: the film is beautifully photographed by Fred Koenekamp and has a sweet dramatic music score by Jerry Goldsmith (two of Schaffner's regular collaborators).
Sadly, we'll never be able to see the director and star work together again since they have both passed away.

some things you don't want to share with the world, you want to keep them hidden for yourself, alone. this is one of those things. this is my favorite george c. scott movie, subtle and complex and always powerful. the scene as he watches his son's hands bleed while trying to land the big fish and has to conceal his own dismay always moves me deeply. the island culture, the outdoor sculpting, david hemmings' portrayal as the lonely alcoholic, eddie, the awkardness of the relationships between the father and sons, all combined to make a beautiful and sad movie.

as a bonus, the rich and haunting score by jerry goldsmith is one of my favorites (as well as his). i think that i'll listen to it right now.

George C. Scott portrays a metal sculptor in the islands duringWorld War II. His sons three of them come for a visit that brings them all closer together. Very life like. I originally saw this movie at the theatre years ago when it first came out i believe in the 70s, i loved it then and love it now, i own this video and watch it frequently. Eddie one of his friends on the movie as well as Joseph are definitely friends i always dreamed of having. Get this video its incredible, the more i watch it the more i love it, must have seen it 100s of times. Enjoy!!!!!

An absolutely beautiful, thought-provoking film, with a poetic script and superb performances all around. Of course, it will never be a favorite among those people C. Wright Mills once called "crackpot realists;" but for those who aren't afraid to let their imaginations soar, this film will carry you to joyous heights. Funny, poignant, romantic, it will make you think about what's truly important in life, and remind you of all life's possibilities. Once seen, never to be forgotten, it casts a sweet spell over the willing viewer - a nightingale singing in the grime of the city. Highly recommended!
