Another not great movie, at least in my mind. I watched the full, nearly three hour version. It simply moved too slow. And in a time of war the traitor Pablo was given way too many chances. No way it was realistic.
Interesting that the name of the hero, Robert Jordan, is the pen name of James Oliver Rigney, Jr, the author of the Wheel of Time fantasy books.
And the speech Gary gave Ingrid at the end of the movie was as sappy is it was vapid.
So sorry for dissing this classic, flame away.

and the terrible color.
... It's a pretty good picture, with sensational color photography-Technicolor 3-stripe, I believe. I think if it were an original feature, with no world famous novel behind it, it would deserve to be more highly regarded. Ingrid Bergman's eyes make it work for me. The Coop's just a big hambone, and he's the same in everything. In the end scene, he very well could've read the Lou Gehrig, "I the luckiest man on the face of the earth" speech, and no one would have noticed. I liked it more in the theater, than on the small screen.
Is that not enough of a clue?
