Ffolkes | Year: 1980 Classification: Comedy Actors/Actresses: - Anthony Perkins - James Mason - Roger Moore One of the best action adventures finally comes to DVD I first saw this movie on British television (under its overseas title of "North Sea Hijack") and it ranks for me personally as my favorite Roger Moore movie. When I learned it was finally going to make its way onto DVD I was ecstatic. It's about time! Ffolkes is one of my all-time favorite movies. A while back, I purchased the VHS version and it looked like it was an old bootleg! The picture and audio quality was the worst I had ever seen on an official release! Needless to say, I was very happy to hear that it was going to be released on DVD, and I can imagine that the picture and audio quality will be up to DVD standard. As far as the film goes, it has a great cast and a great mix of drama, action, and humor! In a role which is very different from his James Bond persona, Moore pulls off the grumpy, cat-loving action hero perfectly! Also watch for outstanding performances from the late Anthony Perkins and James Mason. The story revolves around a group terrorists (headed by Anthony Perkins) who hijack a boat in the North sea, and threaten to blow up a couple of oil rigs if the British government do not meet their demands. Ffolkes (played by Roger Moore) is brought in to thwart the hijackers' plans. The story is a unique twist on the terrorist/hostage theme which has become so commonplace in recent years, and being made in 1980, this movie can only be viewed as a true original which should not be missed! Truly spectacular. There's very little I can say about "ffolkes" that hasn't been said before (and better) by others, but I'll try my best. In a complete departure from Bond, Moore portrays Lord ffolkes, an arrogant, eccentric, chauvenistic d and wort e DVD adds an interesting commentary by Russ Tamblyn and Terry Moore. You feel as if you are sitting with them as the watch the film. They give share stories of what it was like to be a young actor in the 1950s. This is a great film and even better DVD. My wife and I liked the book and movie so much we named our daughter Allison after Peyton Place's main character.
