    Coldly rational decisions lead to megadeaths. The ‘matador’ ending is straight out of the book, but is the wrong one for the movie. Look for Larry Hagman as the translator! Thanks for posting!

    This is one of Sidney Lumet’s best. I first saw it at the age about 12, at the behest of my late father who, one Sunday afternoon, plenked me down in a back leatherette Parker Knoll Statesman and said: this is a film you should watch. He sat down in another Statesman, and we watched it together, I was brought up by two film buffs, so that kind of thing wasn’t unusual!

    I’m unable to find the commentary, both tracks seem to be the original sound. What am I doing wrong?
