whistlingypsy Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 A few years ago, I was at home sick and I was looking for something to watch on television. I came across a film that looked really interesting but I had missed some of the beginning. I don?t remember the circumstances but the plot was essentially this: a man, perhaps played by Richard Burton, is on the run with a woman, played by I do not know. The man could have been a spy and he was on the run because he knew too much. The one scene that I remember clearly is when the man and the woman arrive at a hotel during the off-season. The hotel might have been in an isolated area of Scotland. The two break into the hotel on the ground floor and make their way through rooms filled with furniture covered in dust cloths. Do you know this film? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FredCDobbs Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 Could it have been "The Spy Who Came in from the Cold"? Although I don't remember the abandoned hotel scene, the did go through some abandoned buildings at the end, during their escape from East to West Berlin. http://imdb.com/title/tt0059749/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whistlingypsy Posted February 8, 2008 Author Share Posted February 8, 2008 Thanks Fred C for your speedy reply and comments. I saw THE SPY WHO CAME IN FROM THE COLD for the first time when it aired on TCM last year and it is not the same film. The film I saw, though filmed during the winter and therefore gray and dreary, was nonetheless a color film. Thanks again for your ideas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
