It would have been great to see Ricardo Montalban make another appearance. He has a powerful presence and charisma in "Snowball in Hell." ... <spencer_mabry@>...
"Snowball in Hell" is probably one of my favourites due to Ricardo Montalban. He's such a great actor. While most of the MIs were only concerned with plot,...

I just watched the second film in the Harry Palmer series, and it's not too unlike Mission: Impossible, is it? In fact, in many ways it strikes me as much...
... "Funeral in Berlin" is a straight Iron curtain film: well acted, well directed, Noirish mood. "The Ipcress File" is a more tricky and twisted. Thomas...
How would you compare "Funeral in Berlin" with Mission: Impossible? It's a lot of trickery, Harry Palmer getting pretty confused until he manages to solve it...
Thanks for the clip, Thomas. Do you remember this? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6L4H5JlPf1M John ... Hello John, Please take a look at this season 1 clip: ...
... Yes, I do. I used to watch it as a kid in the 1970's. The leading actor David McCallum was good. Since I haven't experienced recently, I can't affirm if it...

Very good characterisation, Thomas. I wish they made more movies like that! I remember "The Billion Dollar Brain" was a bit absurd, although it's a long time...
I would expect it to be childish, although I remember enjoying it very much in 1975. I haven't seen it since though, although the music and the intro caught...
Thw only problem I had with these 3 movies (The Ipcress Files, Funeral in Berlin, The Billon-Dollar Brain) was that they gave the unnamed protagonist from the...

Spencer, It is interesting you say that. Earlier on I was a bit sceptical of MI season 1, finding season 2 and 3 my favourites, but the more we discuss it,...
I've been curious to watch the Harry Palmer movies but I've always put it on the back burner. I've put Funeral in Berlin in my Netflix queue but The Ipcres...
The cable channel Turner Classic Movies ran an U.N.C.L.E. movie marathon the other day. They're all extended episodes of the television series. The ones from...
Erik, If you manage to watch "Funeral in Berlin", I would be very intersted in reading your review, particularly if you can tie it up with Mission: Impossible....
Certainly John! You can be sure that I will share my thoughts on both Funeral In Berlin and The Ipcress File once I get to watch them. And since the overriding...
I've just put in an order with Ezydvd for series 3. I hadn't realised it had been released - it really snuck past me! Friends and I are working our way...
... That's the best scene from that episode. Josephine drives Willy and Barney mad! And it is the first time they used the wall socket trick. Thomas...
Ricardo Montalban was okay in that episode. I think Paul Lynde could have done much better with that role. Better yet, Lynde would have been excellent as...

I watched "Three days of the Condor" (1975) the other day, and that was a rather nice post-Watergate thriller that reminded me quite a bit of the best parts of...
Hi John, I used to own that movie on VHS (remember that?) back in the 90's At that point I was interested in Sydney Pollack's films and I was going through all...
Erik, How would you compare and contrast "Three days of the Condor" with the Mission: Impossible series? John Erik E Miller <erikemiller@...> wrote: Hi...
Thomas, I haven't seen the episode you are refering to, but from your summary perhaps there could be a slight resemblance. Thanks for pointing out the...
Well I think "Condor" definitely gives us a darker vision than the Mission: Impossible world. This movie was made immediately after Watergate and the...
