Sebastian (1968)
Remembered line, James Bond atmosphere, intro to codes.
Way back then I remembered that after presenting a code to solve, the head man stepped down and walked down the aisle asking "When do we go home?" to which everyone responded "When the job is done." Continuing to walk he asked "When is the job done?" The response in one word; "Never". That main room had a James Bond atmosphere about it in my mind. Especially the elevated office with vertical shades if memory serves me right. This was my first introduction to the art and science of codes, ciphers, and such. No I didn't continue in it but it is an interesting subject. I agree with a previous reviewer in that one tends to remember this movie for a long time, or at least parts of it if my memory is correct and not corrupted by time. The movie is worth the time to watch and you will watch parts of it again and again in your mind.
The Bold Ones: The Lawyers: The Invasion of Kevin Ireland (1971)
Not just the acting. Setting up the shots were memorable.
It wasn't just the acting was great, but also setting up the shots. Credit must also be given to those behind the lens for this show. At one time the number two lawyer saw that the credit report wasn't changed to reflect the truth and became mad. I believe that it was at another, more memorable meeting with lawyer Burl, the number two lawyer, and the credit bureau manager were discussing the situation and Burl wanted to see the file. It wasn't available right then. It was then that the number two lawyer, I can't remember who he was, was telling, in low but expressing determination tones that Burl Ives was so mad that he might take a whole year off to fight this case. The camera was set up so that while he was speaking, Burl was just fuming in the background. Then Burl spoke; "You can call it a threat if you like. Get the file." in low determined tones. And at the end when the camera moved to show a copy of the still incorrect credit report on a table, and you heard Kevin interviewing for a job. Then the camera reviewed Kevin Ireland's (Darren Mcgavin, but the spelling is probably wrong.) face as he was speaking to nobody. He wasn't practicing. He was in his own little world where he was getting a job. They were great shots. I just hope that I am remembering them right.
