The Key Carol Reed, United Kingdom, 1958, 134m Archival Print “Carol Reed naturally keeps things nice and taut.” –Time Out New York Like all great actors, Holden explored certain themes and emotional registers across the years –– disillusionment, arrogance, cockiness, and the strangeness of recognizing one’s own mortality. It’s present in The Bridges at Toko-Ri, in The Wild Bunch (Manny Farber wrote that Holden’s acting in the film had “the smell of death”), and in this underrated World War II drama by Carol Reed, written by the still-blacklisted Carl Foreman. Holden plays a Canadian sergeant who is assigned to command a tugboat that rescues damaged ships. After a dangerous mission, he goes with his old friend Chris (Trevor Howard) to a London flat the latter shares with a woman named Stella (Sophia Loren). The key to the flat, originally given away by Stella’s fiancé the day before their wedding, is passed along from man to man, every one of whom reminds Stella of her lost love. Holden and Howard give haunting performances in this beautifully engineered melodrama, shot in crisp black and white CinemaScope by Oswald Morris. See both these films for the price of one!

The Counterfeit Traitor George Seaton, USA, 1962, 140m "Effortlessly captures the mordant tone that most recent undercover epics have rarely... Holden, a master of mixed impulses, delivers a daringly modulated performance that pays off in empathy as well as thrills. And the always sensual, keenly intelligent Lilli Palmer, who plays the prime mover behind his moral redemption, never had a more complex, riveting, or heartbreaking role." - Michael Sragow, The New Yorker Holden’s partnership with George Seaton and William Perlberg arguably reached a peak with this harrowing, carefully crafted and detailed adaptation of Alexander Klein’s novel about Eric Erickson, a real Swedish-American businessman coerced by British intelligence into spying on the Nazis. Unlike many American films that deal with the period, the details of everyday life during the war seem accurate (the film was shot in Germany, Sweden and Denmark). While there are some nerve-wracking set pieces, the entire film achieves a refined moral suspense: how far should people go to fight for their cause? Do you always have to become as ruthless as your enemy? It’s one of Holden’s most finely etched portraits, of a man receiving a brutal education at the hands of his friends, his enemies and his supposed allies. With an excellent cast that includes Hugh Griffith as the smiling, merciless British agent, Lili Palmer as Holden’s contact in Germany, and, in a bit part as a tubercular escaped Jewish prisoner on the run, Klaus Kinski. The excellent color cinematography is by Jean Bourgoin.
