Watch Betrayed For Free

terrible... so disappointed.

Surprisingly incoherent and boring

I like Black Panther, but I didn't like this movie.

if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

. . . Lana Turner informs Clark Gable toward the end of BETRAYED, which documents the REAL reason behind the calamitous failure of the Allie's original "D-Day" Invasion. No, it wasn't the toxic smoke of James Caan's cigar which botched Holland's Liberation during Operation Marketgarden, as a later film entitled A BRIDGE TOO FAR fallaciously contends. Instead, the sordid truth revealed by BETRAYED is centered around the hurt feelings of a flamboyant Dutch "Mama's Boy," who sends thousands of the brave Resistance fighters trusting him for leadership (and later, American and other Allied Paratroopers) to certain death at the hands of the Nazis simply because local patriots had shaved his mom's noggin when she was indiscreet in turning tricks to get extra sausage from a platoon of German Storm Troopers. (Such close shaves are a Dutch War-Time Tradition: Mr. Gable creates a job opening for Ms. Turner by having a local look-alike school teacher sheared, stripped, butchered, and tossed nude into a canal, BETRAYED also reveals.) Victor Mature portrays the joker with a maternal fetish--his fondest memory is running his fingers through Mom's hair every morning in their windmill. About the only thing this flick fails to show us is whether it was Mommy or Sonny whom BETRAYED the Frank Family.

Betrayed is an exciting espionage thriller set during World War II.It stars Lana Turner, Victor Mature and Clark Gable together with Louis Calhern, O. E. Hasse, Wilfrid Hyde-White, Ian Carmichael, Niall MacGinnis and Theodore Bikel.It was written by by Ronald Millar and George Froeschel.Gottfried Reinhardt directed the film.Intelligence agent Pieter Deventer is ordered to keep tabs on suspected Nazi collaborator Fran Seelers. Both join the Dutch underground, making contact with a flamboyant resistance leader known as "The Scarf". Seelers poses as a sexy chanteuse, the better to gain the confidence of the lascivious Nazi officers. Within the next few weeks, several underground operatives are captured and shot, and it begins to look as though Deventer's suspicions concerning Seeles are correct.However,the real collaborator happens to be a surprise as it was revealed some twenty minutes before the end of the film.Despite the fact that it is dated, the suspense level is expertly maintained all throughout the film which makes it exciting.Also,the performances are good from Gable,Turner and Mature.Also,the beautiful sceneries of Netherlands contributes a lot to the cinematography of the film.

I usually have a soft spot for these old WWII based films. After watching this one I think I'll be more selective on the next ones I wanna watch.As far as a plot point goes it's not too bad. Decent idea hatched but the execution was...well...just not too good. Trying to figure out who's the traitor is pretty easy. When the scene comes up where "The Scarf's" mother gets her head shaved for bein with a German, after that its all downhill from there. The acting wasn't bad at all but the script needed a serious re-working.I think even worse is some of the audio dubbing. It's laughable in some scenes. I can think of 1 scene where 2 characters are outside and the soundtrack they speak is clearly in a studio environment. It's just too funny.If you have to watch any and everything Clark Gable ever did then watch this, if not, skip this one and don't think twice about it.

Clark Gable and Lana Turner were great together -- at least in their previous pairings. Perhaps here, Gable was getting just a bit too old play a spy, although in WWII, any such thing was possible. And then, this is Turner as a brunette, which I found very distracting (not to mention her unconvincing lip syncing). It's not a bad film, but it's also not of the caliber of "Honkey Tonk", "Homecoming", or "Somewhere I'll Find You".The supporting cast is strong -- Victor Mature, Louis Calhern, Wilfrid Hyde-White, and Theodore Bikel -- though none of them have strong parts. This film is all about Gable and Turner.So, while this is not my favorite Gable film -- and I do prefer him as he matured -- it's not bad...I usually don't enjoy war films at all, and this did hold my attention reasonable well...although Turner was perhaps not the most logical female spy. Ah well...perhaps that makes it a bit more interesting. But, if three Gable-Turner films worked well, a fourth would also. Right? Well...not quite.
