Not exactly Jimmy Bond - but for 1959 still an engaging classic with a grea...tly under-rated Kenny More
A John Buchan yarn perhaps not quite in the mould of the Robert Donat classic of 1935. However, location filming widely used - especially in Edinburgh, Waverley Station and throughout the Trossachs and in glorious colour so what more could one ask for on a quiet week-end afternoon. And Taina Elg is very attractive sparring gently with the late, greatly missed Kenneth More. Can definitely recommend it. Had Kenny's later real-life love and later, wife, Angela Douglas been known then, Angela would have made a beautiful alternative leading lady - based on her comedy/drama experience. The scenes on the real Forth Railway Bridge are a must watch. Say no More.

Not true representation of film
Delivery service of DVD was first class, unl...ike the actual film production. If you want a faithful film of John Buchan's novel, buy the Robert Powell 1978 version instead (available from same supplier). Whilst Kenneth More was a good actor, I feel his talents were lost with this particular version. I have since purchased the later DVD, and am delighted with it

An engaging tale but way off the actual story
Well acted and enjoyable. Puri...st will argue the story is far removed from the book and in the wrong decade, but it is way better than the Hitchcock version rubbish
