Reviews:

Pseudo espionage tale is mostly a slow, staged drama
Only because some of the cast are prominent, first-rate actors, does this film earn even five stars. Without the presence of Robert Morley and Richard Attenborough in major roles – and Derek Jacobi and a couple of others in smaller parts, “The Human Factor” would be a washout. Since it’s based on a novel by Graham Greene (which I have not read), one must conclude that the book was a much better read than this story as told and shown in film.

In the first place, this is a very minor espionage film. The lead character, Maurice Castle (played by Nicol Williamson), is only a passer of minor information as gratitude for a friend’s help in getting his Black wife and her son out of Africa. The friend, Matthew Connolly (played by Tony Vogel) was a Communist organizer in South Africa. So, Castle wasn’t a Communist or disgruntled Englishman who wanted to work against or overthrow his country.

From the espionage angle, this is more of a story about the “firm,” which is the British Secret Service or MI-something. And, it is shown as a loosely disorganized entity with mostly eccentric old-timers in top positions. Morley, especially, plays his part well, and Richard Vernon is very good as Sir John Hargreaves.

The other aspect of the film is mostly melodrama involving Castle and his wife, Sarah (played my Iman) and Jacobi’s Arthur Davis. Some of the film, in flashback, takes place in Africa, but most is in London. Yet the whole picture has a feel of being filmed on sound stages. It may be the direction or the screenplay or the sets – most likely a combination of them all, but many scenes have the feel of being on stage.

I’m not one who can very long stand the constant action and mayhem movies of the 21st century, but this film is just way too slow, long and drawn out, with so little substance. Especially after some intriguing and lively espionage films, such as the 1979 TV movie, “Philby, Burgess and Maclean,” this film is tame and nearly maudlin as an espionage tale. It would be wrong to call it a thriller. The only thing that keeps it from being a complete bore is wondering how it turns out for Castle and his family.

The ending helps it earn the fifth star. It’s not likely that many folks today will be able to sit through this full film. Even aficionados of spy films won’t find much in this movie.
