Foreign Intrigue (1956)
As the only American in the movie, Robert Mitchum was the only cast member whose words I understood the entire time. The women, Genevieve Page and Ingrid Thulin, as well as a handful of male cronies, spoke in such thick accents with a lack of knowledge about proper emphasis of syllables, I could barely understand what they were saying. Then again, in a movie entitled Foreign Intrigue, what could I expect?
The beginning to the movie is very interesting, but when more people come on the screen with their various accents and interpretations of the lines, my interest in the plot quickly fizzled. Robert Mitchum’s millionaire employer dies suddenly, and since Bob is the one who found him in his last moments, he’s become a target to police investigations and reporters’ questions. Everyone seems to ask the same question: “Did he say anything before he died?” It gets a little creepy, and Bob starts to understand there’s more than meets the eye to the man’s death. Before long, he’s pulled into plots and subplots and sub-subplots, and there’s no one he can trust!
You can rent this one if you want the eye candy of Robert Mitchum in Technicolor, but you’d better pay attention to more than Bob’s gorgeous mug. It gets pretty complicated!
