The Mask of Dimitrios

[LakeConstan]

The Ledru-Rollin metro station doesn't look at all like this "re-creation" of it!

I must say that as a ticket seller myself that is fast service.

This first came to my notice in the 1970's when AJP Taylor the historian introduced it as his favourite film. (His second was WC Field's 'Never Give a Sucker an Even Break). I love this sequence on the Paris metro - surely an influence on the subway scene in 'French Connection'. where 'Frog 1', gesturing with his hand, leaves Doyle standing, then running, on the platform.

Why do we get such a pathetic version of TCM in the UK? Why isn't this great movie on DVD? When will the studios realise that we want it ALL - ALL their back catalogue!

[MrLunitunz]

The problem is it's not even on DVD! How could Warner Bros overlook such a classic?

This has to be one of the greatest and most under rated and little known movies of all time . Its up there with Casablanca and The Maltese Falcon , only better ( not to say they arnt great films - they are ) but this is just as good as it gets . Fabulous . Theyll never be able to do anything like this again. I think probably my favorite film of all time.

[richmondie]

Yes, TCM is hopeless in the UK. We're starved of old black and white movies on TV. There just isn't enough kindness in the world!

Great movie! Watch it if you get the chance- TCM has it on their program once in a while.

Well, Well, Well. . . Guess What ?

I finally saw the entire movie, "The Mask of Dimitrios", on TCM, yesterday morning, 3/10/09 @ 11:15 am CST. . . I'm still coming down from this 'smoky, dark Noir high' this movie elevated me to !. . . .Fabulous work from Lorre & Greenstreet. Just Great !!!

[herrstix]

I just love this dark, film Noir, with their thick, overcoats and secrecies . . I wish I could 'pull up' the rest of the Video clips to see more of this Great Movie. . .Peter Lorre does a Great job playing the straight guy and being so 'Old World European CLASSY ' about it. . .

Great movie from a great Eric Ambler novel - superbly cast too. You TCM USA viewers are lucky, you get a much wider range of films than we do on the UK TCM - we get the same 20 movies repeated again and again.

[pavgrig]

Hi! I just read you comment! Do you know where I can upload the film or find a dvd with this film? I'm so anxious to see it

Thanks anyway

This is such a great movie! It's so nice seeing Peter playing just a normal guy caught up in abnormal circumstances. Thanks for posting this!

@ladylove1972 I never thought that there would be a movie with Peter Lorre cast as the hero!
