Mirage, starring Gregory Peck is a solid example of 1960s espionage/escapism, and it really does the job. With the featured comic presence of master Walter Matthau, and a trademark Gregory Peck performance, this film is engrossing and interesting from beginning to... Full review

At T/P/O--Manhattan Island, 1965. One of the last black and white films shot at a big studio during the Sixties, this Hitchcockian thriller begs to be remade again. It was tried a second time as Jigsaw. Puzzling. I would have... Full review

At-A-Glance Film Reviews
The supporting cast, which includes Jack Weston, Walter Matthau, and George Kennedy, is also excellent, fleshing out the texture of the film with sneer, charisma, and menace, respectively.
The unravelling of the mystery is a lot of fun, accomplished with a fascinating use of flashbacks that are sometimes as concealing as they are revealing.
