4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent WWII action/drama, November 2, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: O.S.S. [VHS] (VHS Tape)

A great supporting cast which makes the movie happen and a great semi-documentary story of action and drama. A real cliff-hanger based on files of the OSS so it plays well.
Alan Ladd and Geraldine Fitzgerald (who's worth the price of admission just to look at) both early in career's do a great job. He was an exceptional natural athelete which shows well in the movie, and their obvious acting talent really come out.
Well worth seeing. She is also excellent in that time in Watch On The Rhine, a real classic of the war and the movies.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of Ladd's Best Films, September 21, 2008

This review is from: O.S.S. (DVD)

O.S.S. has long been one of my favorite Alan Ladd films. As a spy in WWII, he's handsome, strong, intelligent, competent, patriotic, and romantic---what more can you ask? The cast is excellent, and the plot is complex and suspenseful.

I was a bit nervous about buying a DVD imported from Brazil. Though the cover art and the DVD's opening screen are written in Portuguese, all that's needed is one click on the language menu to select English instead of Portuguese, and the movie plays exactly as it was filmed, in English.

5.0 out of 5 stars What More Can You Want?, April 3, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: O.S.S. [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Very good film with Alan Ladd as the head of his O.S.S. team dropped into Germany. Each one the team members do there part and each one pays dearly. The ending is a shocking twist! Buy This Film!
