Journey Into Fear (1975)
In this pretty crummy adventure flick, Sam Waterston stars as an American who becomes the target of an assassination when he discovers oil in Turkey. It’s a remake of the 1943 Orson Welles movie, but you’re far better off sticking with the original. Sam comes across as remarkably awkward as he runs for his life. He saunters around in wide open spaces, then seems surprised when bad guys start shooting at him. And worst of all, he trusts everyone! Someone around him has to be a bad guy, right? Either Yvette Mimieux, his beautiful and unlikely love interest who doesn’t mind his ineptness; Zero Mostel, his guide from the Turkish embassy, Vincent Price, an art aficionado, Shelley Winters, who’s basically playing a five-second stereotype of her character in The Poseidon Adventure, Donald Pleasance, Ian McShane, Stanley Holloway, or Jackie Cooper. Someone has to be out to get him, or else why is his life in danger?
If you’re the type of person who likes to watch bad movies and chuckle, you might like this one. But if you’re looking for a quality thriller or on-location adventure flick, stick with Death on the Nile. For me, the best part of the movie was seeing Vincent Price act out his real-life persona of appreciating great art.
