The film that finally ended!
1 December 2018
The majority of the cast from this film were worth far more, than making this utter piffle. Stanley Baker was a very talented actor and an effective leading man. I can't understand what could have possessed him to appear in "The Man Who Finally Died." The year the film was released, was when that classic "This Sporting Life" was unleashed. Baker was briefly linked with the latter film and should have been cast. Peter Cushing and Nigel Green are thoroughly wasted throughout the entire film. They have nothing to offer. In all fairness, they can hardly be blamed for the alarmingly poor dialogue. The plot is supposed to be about intrigue and espionage. Sadly, there is precious little of either. The only bit of intrigue I can think of, is how Stanley Baker acquired his latest bird's nest! Not a convincing one (his never were). The film merely rambles along with no sense of continuity or co-ordination. At 96 minutes, the film wouldn't even make for a respectable 25 minute juvenile programme! This is only worth having if you are a fan of any of the actors involved.
