Incannerax What a waste of my time!!!

StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

Brendon Jones It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

Ortiz Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

rsquires I wasn't expecting much, and the horrendous VHS-to-DVD transfer didn't help matters, but the close following of screenplay to novel, and the perfect casting of O'Toole as the vulnerable English aristocrat, makes this TV?!? adaptation a must see.Much of the quality and suspense of the novel comes through, and the wordiness if you will of the script gave O'Toole the freedom to express his character and the political-vs-personal tensions Household filled _Rogue Male_ with.This must have been an English production, I can't imagine an American one including the racial characterizations, 30's political details, or the quick repartee.

FelixFlanken I found this film lurking in the BBC Archives with dust on it.Last viewed the year it came out.It is an immensely atmospheric film shot in that typical seventies film which has aged - slightly murky and blurred with low and dark colour range, a bit like Bergerac or outside scenes of Fawlty Towers! I think Peter O'Toole does a great job in this and is so suited to the role and is really the only real acting presence apart from perhaps the chap he shoots at the end.There are a couple of nice quirky characters though who he meets on the , like the couple who sell him a tandem in a quaint village in Dorset and his plump uncle who we only ever see in a Turkish steam room.This a a good bit of greyish British seventies TV.

SonofUlysses I was an American student back in '76 studying overseas at Oxford, and took a break from the books and just happened to see this movie from the beginning. What a thriller. I don't recall much of it; just that it captivated me throughout. I'm glad to now know the title of the show (from looking up O'Toole,) and is now going to be one of my pleasant pursuits at Blockbuster to find it and watch it again, now with my family and son!!

lime-3 "Rogue Male" is Geoffrey Household's finest thriller, and has long been one of my favorite books. I only discovered the existence of the film recently, and, sold by the screenwriter, director and cast listings, bought it sight-unseen, which I NEVER do. I was not disappointed. Cuts and changes were made, of course, the vast majority thoroughly justifiable. One or two others, while perhaps not strictly necessary, did no harm at all. The result was complete justice to the novel and a fine film!
