Every movie with Anthony Hopkins is great

A tragic love story. Anthony Hopkins has been a personal favorite for decades. Great movie,although very sad ending.

Anthony Hopkins never fails to impress. Thank you from Australia 🙏🇦🇺

Simply stunning this was. Through the whole film, I was asking myself how he could possibly atone for what he had done. He did it in the end though; in the comforting arms of Kristen Scott Thomas.

If you mean Anthony Hopkins, don’t see that his character had anything whatsoever to atone for! Nobody was forced into the contract. The young man could have died at any time and he knew it, so he took a rational decision to go out as a rich man. Very sensible.

WOW!!! This certainly is a movie out of the ordinary and a real gem!!!! What a deep and thoughtful subject!!!!

Gramm Greene extraordinary and compelling author! 🤔

A rich man will give his all to save his life,,,a poor man gives his life to get rich,,,

Beautiful and unique film that somehow I have missed. Thank you for sharing it with me.

This was a good movie, I don’t want to spoil the ending, but I was hoping for a different outcome. 🙂

Such a good dramatization of the book! Heart-rending.

from 1988. Why so many don't include the year is unfortunate.

Thoughtful film . Well acted British Cast . It has shades of the return of Martin Guerre ?? I think it is stretched to think he could walk back without being recognised ? I should have liked a happy ever after ... Perhaps not possible ..

Thank you!

difficult to think that the girl never found a picture of the ex-owner in this house !

The movie is quite short but full of meaning, imagine leaving in tht time 1942, nazi regime is terrifying. So unfortunate mr chevel.this things happend to him., 😢

The importance of forgiveness

Yes. Good movie but the end was too rushed.

Thank you for sharing this......a great cast of favourite people..... there must have been a great deal of suspicions of who secretly colluded with the enemy it probably is still passed down true generations ..

Nice movie, reminds me about what france hac commited in Algeria over 130 years😢

Graham Green wrote this on spec.

Chevel reminds me of Chavel

Graham Greene is one of my favorite authors, but I cannot accept this scenario as being the least bit plausible.

I don't understand it. It's like they never want to acknowledge that he was dying anyway...dying of tuberculosis. THAT is exactly WHY he made the deal. He would never have made it out of that place without warm clothes, sleeping on concrete, inadequate nutrition, and no medical care. AND he would have given everyone else in that cell with him the disease. They were horribly ungrateful for what he bought for them with his death.

@@susanwheeler9624 Actually it came from a book by Graham Greene. What makes a storyline/movie script good is that they make sense. And the fact that the author wrote the whole book with a premise that doesn't work is weird to me. The family's anger at Chavel, and Chavel's shame, would only make sense if Michel was perfectly healthy and would have lived to be released like the rest of the prisoners, and if Chavel had not tried to take back the deal. As it was written, they were holding a grudge about nothing!

​@@sandraelder1101 I have my Graham Greene collection of stories in the next room. I must check to see that he actually wrote what occurs in the first few minutes of the film. The Chavel character (Anthony Hopkins) is hiding in a corner when the Germans come racing in to round up ten men. He can see and hear people screaming and running AWAY from the Germans, but he proceeds to run not just straight to them, but through them, pushing two of them out of the way. Is Greene trying to establish Chavel's sense of entitlement and arrogance, his belief that the Germans won't harm him the minute he says, Don't you know who I am? Except that makes no sense either. Chavel would have stayed in that corner. His childhood friend, Ross, describes him as someone who wouldn't take risks. That man would never have run out of his corner.

Considering the quality of the Graham Greene's story, one would think a better film could have been made. There are truly idiotic mistakes all throughout. Puzzling, as most would have been easy to fix. Except for Anthony Hopkins, the acting wasn't stellar, especially by the actor pretending to be Chevel. It was pretty hoky when he arrived . I won't be subscribing. Not enough ads, and what there were of them were too short and too far apart. Better luck next time.🙄

Good movie
