Product Description

Product Description

British cinema icon Stanley Baker, cult-favourite actor Peter Cushing and controversial actor/director Mai Zetterling feature among an impressive line-up for this British espionage thriller set in post-War Europe. The Man Who Finally Died is presented here in a brand-new transfer from the original film elements.

In London, jazz musician Joe Newman receives a startling telephone call: the caller is his German father, believed to have been killed in action twenty years ago! At the same time, a funeral is taking place in a quiet Bavarian town; the coffin bears the name of Kurt Deutsch, Joe's father. When he goes to Bavaria to investigate, Joe is sure that certain facts are being withheld. But his search for the truth proves more disturbing than he could have imagined...

5.0 out of 5 starsExcellent
By Mike Watkinson TOP 500 REVIEWER on 21 Dec. 2014
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
Hunting around for some new films to watch over the festive period, I ran my eye down some filmographies of various stars I've enjoyed watching in the past. Stanley Baker, of Zulu fame, was one of those, and I came up with this, which I'd never heard of, much less seen. It's really very good. Baker stars alongside Peter Cushing, ably supported by a small but strong cast including the likes of Nigel Green (also of Zulu fame), Eric Portman, and an uncredited Brian Wilde (later much better known for Mr Barrowclough in Porridge, and Foggy Dewhurst in Last of the Summer Wine).

Baker plays Joe Newman; until he left Germany, aged 9 with his mother, Joachim Deutsch; the son of Kurt Deutsch, a German officer who Joe believes died 20 years earlier. When he receives a phone call that tells him his father is alive, he arrives in Bavaria, only to find his father's funeral has taken place a few days previously... Of the plot (and plot really is the appropriate word here!), I shall say no more except to state the obvious - as with any thriller, very little is what it seems to be...

Based on a 1959 ITV serial, this film has an excellent story, with several twists & turns, that is well handled by the director & cast, is wholly believable, and has a very decent ending too. It's not an action-packed thriller, by any means, but it's none the worse for that. When the biggest criticism I can find to make is that Niall MacGinnis' Irish brogue is ever-present under his German accent, you can take it as read that you've the opportunity to pick up a top-notch film for very few pennies indeed!

4.0 out of 5 starsGripping

Gripping

The picture and sound quality are excellent. The film is black and white. The only thing that spoils it (for me) is that it is severely "letterboxed" (Please note: I am writing what I see, not anything about aspect ratio and I do not imply that the aspect ratio is "wrong". I hope you will appreciate that I am trying to give a balanced and helpful view of the product, not only a synopsis of the film.). This, at times, can make the viewing confusing, as there are some scenes where the view is even "shorter". However, the quality of the film, itself, more than makes up for this.

From the outset, the drama moves very quickly and it is essential to pay close attention, otherwise you may miss something.

Stanley Baker is absolutely superb as a man who has been summoned by his father, who was supposed to have died some years previously. He is an "ordinary" man; a jazz musician and composer, so not experienced in investigations or subterfuge.

Full of "red herrings", which deliberately confuse the viewer; you don't know who is doing what or why! The only person to be trusted is Joe Newman (Stanley Baker). He wants to find out what happened to his father and if he is still alive.

The problem is that, seemingly, nobody can be trusted! Joe is confused, on his own and away from home. Will he find out what is actually happening and why he has been summoned by a man he believes is dead?

You will have to find out! I watched the film "on the edge of my chair". The settings and music are very atmospheric and the acting is excellent; only to be expected of Stanley Baker, Peter Cushing and Eric Portman, to name but three of the superb cast!

I was not disappointed! I hope you will enjoy it as much as I did!

3.0 out of 5 starsLong Time No See!! This review is for the Network/Studio Canal Release
By A. W. Wilson TOP 500 REVIEWER on 7 July 2013
Format: DVD
If I feel negative thoughts about a film I do try and qualify any such remarks. Something about this long unseen, nay, forgotten, film just didn't quite click with me. The B/W Widescreen print (2.35.1) is excellent, tho I found the sound levels a bit annoying-the dialogue level is fine and then the music thunders in and makes the walls shake (well the earth moved for me so to speak). The plot is good and mysterious, and there are twists and turns galore. So, what is not to like. Here and I make no excuse, my remarks are purely personal... If you are going to play "an arrogant Bully" as Baker is referred to (and he is) you need to have the persona of a Lee Marvin, and here Baker is just a stone faced brute which is odd as his character is a Jazz Pianist, and we all know they aren't stone faced brutes. Baker fans, of which I am usually one, will no doubt love his performence. Mai Zetterling is utterly wasted, but The support actors do well with what they are given (Portman/Green/McGinnis/Cushing etc.), and Georgina Ward makes a good fist of her character. I wanted to like this more than I did and can't truly put my finger on the reason for negativity. Maybe it was the direction. Anyway-I suspect I am in the minority here. It's a great opportunity to see a long forgotten film, in good nick, and a fair price (just). If in doubt from my remarks-get the DVD and see for yourself.

5.0 out of 5 starsIt could have been worse. You could have won the war.
By Harry Orwell on 6 July 2013
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
This review refers to the Network release.

At last, a quality release of The Man Who Finally Died! The picture quality is excellent! Having struggled by with a poorly recorded copy for many years I found myself spotting things I had never appreciated before.

I must confess I am biased about this film because not only is it one of my favourites, but it also stars a fistful of my favourite actors too. Stanley Baker gives yet another powerful performance as the German-born central character, Joe Newman. Newman has lived in England since he was a boy but is lured back to Bavaria by a telephone call claiming that his father, who he believed to have been dead for 20 years, is still alive. Newman investigates but comes up against a local doctor, the police and a seemingly duplicitous widow. His persistence pays off but not in the way he was expecting!

The cast is first rate. Here are just a few of the familiar names and faces that lift this from being a fair mystery story to a really enjoyable, superbly acted drama.

Stanley Baker I have already mentioned. Having hunted down many of his film and television appearances I have yet to see him deliver anything but strong believable characters. He is on top form here.

Peter Cushing: a favourite since my youth when I became a Hammer film fan. This is a mile away from Hammer and he demonstrates his versatility with a performance that keeps you guessing about his integrity throughout.

Eric Portman plays the intimidating, cigar chomping Inspector Hoffmeister (whatever happened to Hoffmeister lager?).

Nigel Green plays the hulking Sgt Hirsch. Green was one of our great unsung character actors.Read more ›
