Hitchcock Robson Style

To say that this is an Alfred Hitchcock movie made by Mark Robson is not a put down, it's just a fact of life. Look at the framing and you'll know immediately that we're not in Hitchcockian territory. But the the Hitchcockian ingredients are there even if not mixed or cooked at the wrong temperature, or something. Paul Newman, absolutely gorgeous and funnily enough he'll make a spy film with Hitchcock set in Sweden during the Nobels. Elke Sommer is like an imitation Hitchkcock ice blonde made in Germany. Diane Baker was the brunette in Hitchcock's Marnie and she's a real delight. Edward G Robinson, of course, always a pleasure but then Mr Robson casts Micheline Presle, Micheline Presle from "Devil And The Flesh" and ignores her. She is framed as if Robson didn't know who she was. Another unforgivable bit of business, Sergio Fantoni's Italian mamma. What was he thinking. All that aside. It's entertaining and Paul Newman can take me anywhere, anytime.

about as far-fetched as you can get but still a lot of fun

This is a very light-hearted mystery-suspense film. Paul Newman is in Stockholm to receive a Nobel Prize when he is pulled into a plot with international implications. Despite the seriousness of the plot, the writer and director did a good job of balancing chases and near-death experiences with occasional bouts of silliness that worked well for me. I particularly liked when Newman and Elke Sommer were running from the bad guys. They ran into a meeting hall to hide but found that it was a group of nudists, so they had to do what they needed to do to blend in and not be noticed. This was very reminiscent of another of Ms. Sommers' films, A SHOT IN THE DARK. One final praise and it was because the film also features Edward G. Robinson--for this it earns an extra point, as he was an excellent actor that did a lot more than just gangster flicks.
