4-0 out of 5 stars The Lake District is a beautiful place indeed
This is an interesting film about England, though it is a thriller and its main objective is to describe a crime and to follow the investigation. But the main part of the film is a chase of the police after two escapees, one of them being the suspected « killer ». This chase makes us discover England, a rather old period of it, under a very interesting light. We have a close vision of Liverpool harbour, of the railway station, of the Lake District, etc. It also shows how a man from the secret services has connections in all quarters of the city and is able to get about everything he wants. It also indicates how the police is unable to cope with an ex-secret-serviceman whereas a man from the secret service can get him rather fast. This escapee knows it and he plans it so that he is just one leap ahead, just enough to escape and bring the real criminal to the trap he lays out for him. It is amazing to discover how many people in England help this man because of his reputation we imagine is positive and because he escapes the police, and thus must be right and has to be helped and protected. This kind of reaction is rather rare in England where the police is very well respected. It is thus necessary to mention it because this « solidarity » is quite uncommon. Apart from that the thriller itself is very well made and the acting is quite good, for a little film of that type. This is also very English, at least in a time when they had a good independent cinema industry : even a little film had good actors, which was and still is far from being the case in the USA.

4-0 out of 5 stars Understated but Exciting Film in Hitchcock Vein
You'll love this movie if you liked Hitchcock's The Thirty-Nine Steps, Young and Restless or North by Northwest. Like those movies, this is a psychological thriller that begins indoors but then spends much of its time in a chase across country, with interesting scenery and great thrills. Jean Simmons looks fabulous and Trevor Howard (one of my favorite actors - think of I See a Dark Stranger, The Third Man, or Brief Encounter) is excellent - cooly intelligent, reserved. I love this movie, and give it 4 (rather than 5) stars only because the black and white movie is a little dated. Do rent or buy it - you are bound to enjoy it. ... Read more

1-0 out of 5 stars this movie is slightly worse than rollerball
on a scale of one too one million with one million being the best this movie was aproximately a -10000.597. The acting in porn movies is alot better than the acting in this movie.a low budget porn film.If i had the choice of seing this movie and watching midgets play monopoly id watch the midgets.The only reason for anyone to watch this movie is to see dirk's nice package.:-->

5-0 out of 5 stars *Kissing Dirk Bogard*
Nope, he never got to kiss the girl. And the movie wasn't in color, either. Didn't have to be. This is THE BEST, most beautiful version ever made of the finest tale of heroism ever told. A 5 (out of five) Kleenexes rating for A Tale of Two Cities, starring Dirk Bogard!! Don't confuse it with any other version of this movie. No man alive played the indolent wastrel, Sidney, with the intensity that Dirk did. A unique performance! The others were great too.

You watchers of TITANIC (it was OK), get a real movie, will you?

"It is a far, far better thing I do, than I have done before. It is a better rest I go to...than I have ever had."

Beat that for unforgettable if you can. Hand me another Kleenex. ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars The prescription for fun
This is a funny movie about the trials and tribulations of med students, struggling thru the British med school of the 50s.
It's quite a culture shock to see how much has changed since the 50s (does anyone ever see the nurses in full uniform, complete with cap in hospitals anymore?). As opposed to recent medical shows, you won't learn much about medicine from this video but you will have lots of laughs.
So take this prescription and pop it in your vcr and enjoy - cheaper than your health insurance payments;) ... Read more

3-0 out of 5 stars Fun but not Funny
Though I thought this film was pleasant enough, it ultimately was neither campy enough or action packed enough to ever get me too excited.

The plot feels second rate, the hero as played by Richard Johnson is about as bland as you get and any attempts at campy humor were too subtle to ever make me laugh.

All but serious student of 60's pop culture are probably going to feel a little disappointed after purchasing this film. It isn't nearly as good or fun as the cover illustration makes it seem.

5-0 out of 5 stars Swingin' Sixties action with Bulldog Drummond
Great fun. This is the BEST 60s James Bond [copy] and far surpasses Modesty Blaise, Matt Helm or the Derek Flint movies... not to mention countless other imitations. Great fight scenes, exotic locations, beautiful women, a pair of femme fatale assassins to die for and a nasty villain in the form of Nigel Green. Moves along at a nice pace, a little trashy but if you like The Avengers, The Saint and The Persuaders, You'll LOVE this!! This rare film, previously available only on badly done bootlegs, is now available in it's original 2.35:1 theatrical aspect ratio and it's a decent print as well. The title song by The Walker Brothers is great and far surpasses the awful, awful Madonna effort on "Die Another Day" (the latest 'Bond' offering). All in all, a worthwhile purchase, even though it's a bare-boned disc with absolutely NO extras...not even a trailer... it's a wonderful relic of the Swingin' Sixties. Buy it, before it's deleted!!

5-0 out of 5 stars The best James Bond knock-off from the Sixties!
If you like James Bond, get this movie.

Yes, this is the best of all the Bond knock-offs produced in the mid-to-late Sixties, and there were a lot of them! Unlike spoofs like Modesty Blaise and Casino Royale, Deadlier Than the Male is actually a good movie in its own right. The production values are higher than most other sub-Bond spy films of the period (although nowhere near as high as those of Mr. Bond himself), the acting is good, the action is good, and the script is witty. Elke Sommer (at her absolute hottest!) steals the show as a voluptious assassin, but Richard Johnson makes a darn good hero, too. His character's relationship with his nephew is quite well-done, and a scene where the nephew brings a lady back to his uncle's apartment is a comedic hightlight (somewhat reminiscent of The Pink Panther). The murders are all very creative (think Avengers) and rather violent for the time period. The setpieces are great, especially the climax where hero Bulldog Drummond faces the villain (an amazing Nigel Green) on a giant chessboard filled with oversize pieces. If you like Sixties James Bond movies, or the Pink Panther movies, or TV shows like The Avengers, you'll like Deadlier Than the Male. (The Walker Brothers theme song is amazing, too, on par with many of the great Bond themes!) All in all, a great Bond-style action-comedy. Deadlier Than the Male is to Thunderball as XXX is to Die Another Day (only both those sixties movies are better to their 2002 counterparts). Bond in everything but name. (And budget.)

I'm so glad this movie is finally on DVD! As far as I know, it had never been officially released even on VHS before, so all I'd seen previously was a poor-quality bootleg. The dvd offers no features, and the print is a bit scratchy at times, but the widescreen transfer looks nice and it's infinitely superior to the bootlegs! I'd like to see the sequel, Some Girls Do, released as well, though it's nowhere near as good as this one.

5-0 out of 5 stars great movie! hope they put out the sequel soon!
DEADLIER THAN THE MALE is a wonderful spy film, turning the character of hugh bulldog drummond into a 007-type adventurer. the women are beautiful, and the villain is perfectly cast. richard johnson is brilliant as bulldog. the walker brothers sing the terrific theme song. this is a great, fun movie. i only hope they soon put out the sequel to this film -- a great 1969 spy spoof called SOME GIRLS DO, in which johnson reprises his role as bulldog. ...
