Not just a whodunnit, but a who-the-heck-is-that-er?
Stunningly original. It’s great fun sitting with people seeing the film for the first time and telling them all the big stars who are in it! “OK,” they finally say, “I’ve seen George Scott and I’ve finally seen Kirk Douglas; where’s everybody else?” Once you experience this classic, you’ll know what I mean. Scott (one of the few Americans who can sustain a British accent) is wonderful as the sleuth. Houston’s slight-of-hand direction is bang on. Goldsmith’s wicked little theme and moody score need to finally be released on CD (Varese? Silva?).

Gimmicky star-chasing all but sinks modest murder mystery
The handful of top-notch films directed by John Huston, from The Maltese Falcon in 1941 to Prizzi’s Honor in 1986, has always been evened out by more than his share of clunkers — mediocre material half-heartedly helmed (The Bible, In This Our Life, Judge Roy Bean, Annie). But what was his thinking behind The List of Adrian Messenger? A modestly entertaining murder mystery of the fusty old English school, it’s trumped up with foolish gimmickry that’s irrelevant to the movie but was vital to its marketing. A starry cast — Kirk Douglas, Burt Lancaster, Robert Mitchum, Tony Curtis, Frank Sinatra — wanders around under false-faces for, with one exception, no discernible reason (they all end up looking like late Sean Connery). So sitting through it is to join the celebrity hunt (preferable, at any rate, to the fox hunts which eat up the film footage).

The plot proper concerns a series of fatal “accidents” that leads George C. Scott, sans mask and makeup, to uncover a betrayal in wartime Burma and the scion of an aristocratic family long vanished into the Canadian west. But Huston loses interest in the puzzle with unseemly haste — as do we. Stifling yawns, we wait for the “stars” — most of whom contribute little more than walk-ons — to peel off their disguises, winking and smirking insufferably at the camera.
