Has anyone seen Fail_Safe?

by Windyc Wed 23 Mar 2011, 00:33

The DVD is available on Amazon and I'm tempted to get it. I've got most of his other movies and may add this to the Clooney collection.

by melbert Wed 23 Mar 2011, 01:00

I have it Windyc. I thought it was very good, but I like everything he's in, so I'm not a good judge. It was shot live in black and white and has a very stellar cast. I cried.

by Windyc Wed 23 Mar 2011, 01:05

Thanks. I just ordered it. I'm almost out of room on my Clooney Collection self. Very Happy

No, missed that one,along with The American,let us know what FS is like,I may have to go searching for it.

by Merlin Wed 23 Mar 2011, 06:33

I have it too....very good..except for the end!

by Katiedot Wed 23 Mar 2011, 07:53

I have it on DVD but never got past the first 15 minutes . . . .

Katie, I really wish you'd get past the first 15. I think you'd enjoy it.

by Katiedot Sun 22 May 2011, 19:21

I know, I know. Keep thinking I have to stick the DVD back in the machine for another try but just haven't got there.

by melbert Sun 22 May 2011, 19:29

Not pushing you along, but I would like to hear your opinion after you watch it.

by Dexterdidit Mon 23 May 2011, 04:13

I've never seen Fail Safe not sure I can get it over here.

by sarah ali Mon 01 Aug 2011, 02:44

i saw a long time ago , downloaded it from clooneyfiles , so sad this site had been closed , it had almost every single video that George apeared in!

by Guest Mon 01 Aug 2011, 03:22

Dex, I don't know if you are interested, but i saw the other day that fail safe is available for purchase on movie dvd club. I never saw it either.

Sarah, do you know why they closed the site down?

by Katiedot Mon 01 Aug 2011, 03:46

Clooneyfiles was the best! I believe they got hacked and the owner was busy so she didn't have time to rebuild it fully. It still exists but there's no forum there anymore.

by sarah ali Mon 01 Aug 2011, 03:47

all of a sudden , like most GC's websites and they keep saying they're always busy to catch up his news and so they close it Exclamation

, hope this thread stays cuz i reaaaaaally love it Smile

by melbert Mon 01 Aug 2011, 03:48

Are you up really late Katie, or really early????

by Katiedot Mon 01 Aug 2011, 03:50

neither, it's a reasonable time in the morning! Just moved again so I'm all over the place and trying to figure out if my internet connection is working.

by Merlin Mon 01 Aug 2011, 07:18

Julie the owner of Clooneyfiles was away working in Japan when the site was hacked and everything in the forum was lost....

by pattygirl Mon 01 Aug 2011, 13:56

I have Fail Safe on DVD. You can get it on Amazon.com for under $7. + shipping. I enjoyed it very much. I thought it was very well done.

by Atalante Mon 01 Aug 2011, 15:25

He should get a Clooney box. Clint Eastwood has one !

Would it sell ? Rolling Eyes

I want all the bloopers !

by Missa Sat 21 Jan 2012, 16:00

I actually saw it when they originally did it as a live television production. I liked it, and it made a little more thrilling knowing it was live and they could screw up at any minute. It's fun to play "Find the Boys" - a few of them have small parts in the film.

by pattygirl Sat 21 Jan 2012, 16:07

Atlante, George does have a box. It's some of his earlier work. It's call George Clooney The Collection. It has Solaris, One Fine Day and The Thin Red Line. Also has a box with Oceans collection.
Best movie on DVD for bloopers is From Dusk Till Dawn.

by Joanna Sat 21 Jan 2012, 16:09

I think it's a brilliant film too, especially as it was live.
While I was watching it, ages ago now, I remembered that I'd heard the play on the radio too, many years ago and the ending was very dramatic !

Small boxes, but not " the whole Allacazam ".

by melbert Sat 21 Jan 2012, 23:17

" the whole Allacazam " Never saw that film Atalante. What year was that made?

by melbert Sun 22 Jan 2012, 01:12

Yay It's Me!!!!!

by Katiedot Sun 22 Jan 2012, 04:12

Oh wow, It's Me, what a great find! Now I don't actually have to watch the film at all!

by it's me Sun 22 Jan 2012, 12:53

ABSOLUTELY A MUST SEE Thumbs up!

really exciting to know it was LIVE!

by Joanna Sun 22 Jan 2012, 20:05

I agree I M. An amazing experience to watch it

by melbert Sun 18 Mar 2012, 20:51

Because I wanted to, I watched Fail Safe today. George on screen was not that much, but after watching his intensity this week, I felt like seeing it again as him acting in Fail Safe. The whole cast was great and the film compelling. Wow...

by caudata Sun 18 Mar 2012, 23:48

It's been a few years since I've seen it; I had actually forgotten about it, which is unfortunate as it is a great film.

by Lakin460 Sun 18 Mar 2012, 23:53

Did you see the wedding ring on George's finger in the second video of the cast interview? That was a bit freaky! lololol

by caudata Mon 19 Mar 2012, 00:06

Oh wow, somehow I missed the ring! Was that for a movie?

by Lakin460 Mon 19 Mar 2012, 00:11

I'd say it was for the movie, altho I haven't seen it. He was married to Talia but not at the time of Fail Safe.

by melbert Mon 19 Mar 2012, 00:35

His wife had just died of cancer and he had a little boy, Tommy 10 years old.

by caudata Mon 19 Mar 2012, 01:16

Thanks melbert!

by it's me Mon 19 Mar 2012, 07:47

yep
when needed I saw
only
very big rings

on his hands

really visible

and
while filming
O12 (if I'm not wrong about the #)
he wore the wedding ring
out of the set
ALSO

(there are pics with Julia R Brad P and maybe Aniston too
at some restaurant, if I'm not wrong)

by caudata Mon 19 Mar 2012, 15:35

I never considered the fact that actors would continue to wear things like wedding rings off set. I suppose that makes sense now that I think about it.

by it's me Mon 19 Mar 2012, 17:57

he said
he didn't want to forget
to me seems strange

bec there are people
who think about it
no?

anyway
I found it
a very I love you

sweet (but sad also) thing

yes

by macs Mon 19 Mar 2012, 18:07

I did
there are quite a few stand out performances in one movie, really it's worth the time
I envy those who could catch it live at the time : it's all about the tension right before the big B. which I suppose DVD can't exactly capture comparing to watching a live preformance
