Product Description
Telefon/St. Ives (DBFE) (DVD) (WS) (Tough Guys Charles Bronson) He toiled for years in the second-tier of movie casts. Then along came Death Wish, and Charles Bronson muscled into the top ranks of action stardom. He brings iron-willed resolve to the spy thriller TELEFON (Side A), directed by Dirty Harrys Don Siegel. Enemy agents have slipped into the U.S., programmed to carry out acts of Cold War sabotage when they are triggered by lines of a Robert Frost poem. Bronsons job: stop the would-be terrorists before its too late. The woods are lovely, dark…and deadly. The star plays a crime writer caught up in a web of crime in ST. IVES (Side B), the first of his nine films with director J. Lee Thompson. Jacqueline Bisset and John Houseman co-star in a corpse- and twist-filled mystery.

"Telefon" is a classic political/psych. thriller in the style of "The Manchurian Candidate". It's a Cold War Era film about mentally programmed KGB Agents trying to blow up targets in the US. The agents are hiding as "sleeper" agents in the US. The agents could be interpreted to be part of a secret cell of KGB agents in the US. The CIA is trying to crack the case with the help of Bronson. The mind control used in the film reminded me a ton of the CIA's MK-Ultra Program that existed from 1953-1973 & is still rumored to exist under other military programs according to some researchers. The only difference is that in the film the Soviet Union is using these kinds of programs. The film also reminded me quite a bit of the film "The Parallax View" which also has aspects of composites of concepts from the MK-Ultra Program. There are really good performances from Bronson & Donald Pleasence. Fans of 1970's political/psych. thrillers do not want to miss this one. I give the film 4 stars.
TELEFON (1977) is a tight, exciting film by Don Siegel (DIRTY HARRY, etc.), based on the terrific novel by Walter Wager. It's about a Russian KGB agent (Bronson) who must team up with a beautiful woman agent (Lee Remick) to stop a rogue Russian madman (Donald Pleasence) from activating 54 "sleepers"--Russian "agents in place" in the USA who were brainwashed during the Cold War and programmed to destroy vital American military sites. Now, long after the operation was scrapped by the Russians, crazy Pleasence is determined to cause mayhem and start WWIII between the two superpowers, so he's "waking up" the sleeping saboteurs by means of coded phone calls. And only Bronson can stop him, with the aid of Remick and a marvelously funny computer nerd played by a very young Tyne Daly (CAGNEY & LACEY). This is one of Bronson's best films.
ST. IVES (1976), directed by J. Lee Thompson (THE GUNS OF NAVARONE, etc.), is not as good as TELEFON, but it's fun, and it has a notably classy cast. Based on Donald E. Westlake's novel, THE PROCAINE CHRONICLE, it stars Bronson as Mr. St. Ives, a former cop, now a P.I. with literary aspirations (he's writing a mystery novel!), who is hired by a shady millionaire (Oscar-winner John Houseman) to retrieve some very compromising diaries from the blackmailers who stole them. Bronson sets out to do that, but he's distracted by some nosy cops, a gang of murderous thugs (including then-unknowns Robert Englund and Jeff Goldblum), Houseman's creepy psychiatrist (Oscar-winner Maximilian Schell), and his beautiful, seductive ward (Jacqueline Bisset). What's an ex-cop/P. I./budding novelist to do? This is Bronson in a lighter mode, and he's charming.
So, two Bronson flicks for the price of one--and they're both very entertaining. Good anamorphic prints, with original theatrical trailers for both and a bonus mini-doc about the making of ST. IVES. Enjoy!

But the picture quality is one to wish for: "St. Ives" is good but "Telefon" is kind of hazy and not sharp, but still not too bad.
Get this one, if you like Bronson's movies.
