There are some prerequisites for appreciating this excellent movie: 1.You need the attention span sufficient for the plot--e.g., more thanSesame Street. 2.You need some basic understanding of World War II--no not everyone was equally guilty. 3. You need the essential capacity for sentiment. 4. You need the appreciation of love as more than some play in the sheets. The ultimate change in character of the opportunistic businessman of useful connections trapped in an espionage role finally into a selflessly committed one is great.

This film is based in real facts. Though he doesn't particularly agree with the Nazis Eric Erickson (William Holden) is a successful Swedish oil business man with commercial links with Germany during World War II. His activity allows Erickson to travel constantly between Stockholm and Berlin and he has important friends in Hitler's circle. British Intelligence sees the opportunity to use him as a spy and they blacklist him to force him to take the job. Actual locations in Europe, a very skillfully handled script and a first rate cast make this film one of the best in its genre. The point is that "The Counterfait Traitor" lasts 2 hours and 20 minutes and it doesn't have a single uninteresting sequence. Tension and intrigue are always there and it doesn't lack drama and action either. It has it all. The cast is outstanding. Holden's performance is quite solid and natural. Lilli Palmer is most convincing as Marianne Mollendorf -Holden's contact in Germany- who revolves the man's traditional ideas on war and neutrality as well as on his matrimony. Hugh Griffith, not far away from his Oscar winning performance in "Ben Hur" (1959) renders here a superb work as Collins the intelligence Britsh member that traps Holden. You should see this film if you didn't whether you like espionage films or not. It has something interesting for everyone. It's a 10 out of 10 for me; I still can't find any weaknesses or flaws in it.

I first saw "The Conterfeit Traitor" when I was a teenager, and I remember how much I enjoyed it then. I hadn't seen it since, and I tuned in to it about halfway on TCM. I was ready to dismiss my liking the film as a folly of my youth because it seemed to be slow and overacted. However, I stuck with it and I'm happy I did. The film really began to move when William Holden's love interest was arrested by the Gestapo, and it became emotionally absorbing to its end. The last hour of the film is as good as anything I've ever seen about the Second World War. I was particularly fascinated by a scene where the Danish unite against the Nazis in a nonviolent protest with no weapons except bicycles and bells. The small part of Klaus Kinsky is also very touching. I highly recommend this film.

A pretty engrossing film based on a real character and true events. Holden is excellent, as is Lilli Palmer. A somewhat slow start, but picks up fairly quickly. The ending takes a tad long to unwind. Technicolor is so superior to the color techniques used today; the movie is great to look at. Also, a good portrayal of the atmosphere of life in totalitarian Germany. Thank you, American Movie Classics for showing us this one.

Last night I saw Executive Suite with William Holden and Fredrich March. I expected it to be a great movie and it was. Tonight I noticed AMC is playing another Holden movie entitled Counterfeit Traitor. I watched it and it turned out to be grippy and suspenseful and Holden was great. I have seen great films with Holden including Picnic, Bridge on the River Kwai and Sunset Boulevard. This was supposed to be one of his inferior work, but I actually liked it better than some of his better known films. It's too bad that at the end of his career he made movies such as Omen II and Ashtani. In any case, he was fabulous here and I am looking forward to see other films with him.

I never tire of watching this great WWII spy/romance film. In my opinion, it is the single greatest World War II spy film ever made. It truly captures the danger, uneasiness, and on-the-edge drama of the life of a spy. William Holden is brilliant as Eric Erickson, the reluctant spy, and his story totally captivates us. It makes one wonder how many other stories like this one occurred during the war. The scene where the character of Hans Holtz (young Nazi boy who wants to turn Erickson in to the authorities) is truly riveting. When the film is over you wish there were more. If anyone can tell me the titles of any similar films, I would appreciate it. William Holden has to be the greatest actor of his generation!

The picture captures the true feeling of the war and the heroic attempt of a few people to contribute to the destruction of a dictatorship. The line " you can read about a hundred atrocities, hear about a thousand, but you only have to see one" will always stay with me. I wonder why Eric Erickson has not been mentioned in history as a hero of World War Two? He was very similar to Oscar Shindler. I would hope that the real story of Eric Erickson is told some day. Lilli Palmer was wonderful and injected the reality of the war inside Germany throughout the picture. She was the most believable of all the characters. The scenes in the prison and her character's death were very realistic and left you with how helpless they were under the Nazi regime. Next to " The Bridge On The River Kwai" this is William Holden's best picture.

Asmi BhandariMay 23, 2023

One of the great WWII intrigue films perhaps because it was done 20 years emotionally removed from that incredible war, where good and evil were so clearly delineated. The story again proves the Bard right in that truth is stranger than fiction. By 1962, when this film was released, William Holden's career had already gone into decline but certainly not his talent. A marvelous film shot in the actual European cities where the true story took place, a film that engenders repeated watching. This is a good one for a rainy Saturday night with or without a partner with whom to watch it.
