Yul Brynner, another unique in the cinema history! An actor with a fascinating, natural, credible personality in whatever role he did.
The movie itself is a pedestrian crime movie that takes a tiny premise and extends it over the length of a movie. Not a good thing.
With a souped up budget and foreign location this remake of the Anthony Mann noir classic T-Men should have been better. But The File Of The Golden Goose is rather disjointed plot wise and while in T-Men the documentary style narration is critical to the film, here it is used gloss over some glaring holes in the story.
Quite routine as can be for a crime feature, but there's somewhat a dreary and hardened underbelly.
While File of the Golden Goose is not a particularly well made film, it does have it's charms.
U.S.
If you are a big fan of Yul Brynner who plays the role of a U.S.
"The file of the golden goose" is entertaining stuff,if you are not asking too much.There are counterfeiters in those trouble times and their ambitions know no bounds ,they are spreading all over Europe ,including the United Kingdom,which is a shame.
Yul Brynner (yes, Yul Brynner, believe it or not) plays a U.S.
