Hide and Seek [DVD]

Product Information

Cy Endfield directed this small comedy-thriller quite some time before his epic film, "Zulu", but it was not released until some six months after that large-scale production. As David is driven away, he looks back to see two agents (Monty Warren and Cyril Cross) speaking with Melnicker. Sadly, the decidedly naff title did summarise and embody the film only too well, both as regards final product and as a description of the plot. It is revealed that this was all an elaborate trap to trick Garrett to "voluntarily" come to this hotel - he has been used like a pawn in a chess game.

Garrett is confused by the apparently secretive way that one player, Richter, transfers the knight chess piece to Melnicker.He finds two life jackets in the boat, and it appears to Marek (watching from the hotel with binoculars) that Garrett and Maggie are attempting to swim to a nearby island with a castle.

DISCLAIMER: Note that inclusion of a title within our catalogue does not guarantee rights or print availability for a specific territory.Maggie seems to be avoiding committing to anything and Garrett resigns himself to continuing on the train for the time being. Kieron Moore, who had a real talent for darkly smooth and menacing characters, appears but is underused.
