nomoons11 I usually have a soft spot for these old WWII based films. After watching this one I think I'll be more selective on the next ones I wanna watch.As far as a plot point goes it's not too bad. Decent idea hatched but the execution was...well...just not too good. Trying to figure out who's the traitor is pretty easy. When the scene comes up where "The Scarf's" mother gets her head shaved for bein with a German, after that its all downhill from there. The acting wasn't bad at all but the script needed a serious re-working.I think even worse is some of the audio dubbing. It's laughable in some scenes. I can think of 1 scene where 2 characters are outside and the soundtrack they speak is clearly in a studio environment. It's just too funny.If you have to watch any and everything Clark Gable ever did then watch this, if not, skip this one and don't think twice about it.

grafxman The flick starts with some of the best action ever. It continues with plenty of action as well as an incidental romance. Shot on location in Holland with a terrific cast, this flick is as good as they get! It has a fascinating plot as well. It's basically a mystery set against the back drop of war. It's a case of who's the traitor? Ultimately, as with all good mysteries, the culprit is revealed. The discovery of the traitor and the traitor's motivation are revealed and make sense to the viewer.Any flick with Clark gable is going to be good. Pair him up with Lana Turner as well as Victor Mature and you know it's got to be good just from the casting alone. The only mystery to me is how anyone could give a vote of less than ten.

blanche-2 "Betrayed" stars Clark Gable in his last film for MGM, after which his contract was not renewed. I love the way these studios managed to forget the very people who made them great and kept them solvent during some hard years, but there you go. Gable deserved better for his last film - though it is beautifully photographed in color on location and has a star cast, he doesn't really have much of a role.With Gable is another star on unsure footing at MGM - Lana Turner, who by 1954 had committed the unforgivable sin of being over 30 and therefore on her way out as far as Dore Schary was concerned. Victor Mature and Louis Calhern round out the all-star cast. Turner, as the widowed Carla van Oven, is sent into Holland as a liaison between a resistance fighter, The Scarf (Mature) and the British. When it becomes apparent that someone is betraying the resistance, Deventer (Gable), who trained Carla and fell in love with her, begins to suspect she's spying for the Nazis.The story gets a little confusing but all in all, it's fairly routine stuff, and all these actors have appeared in stronger vehicles. It is lovely to look at, however. And Turner, as a brunette, looks beautiful and, though it's wartime, has some glamor moments as well. Gable at 53 was probably a little past it for his role, but he has a commanding presence. Mature does a good job as the wild resistance fighter.Clark Gable and Turner both gave MGM their best years. "Betrayed" turned out to be an apt title for both of them.

Claire-P-1 As a huge Gable fan Betrayed is by no means the King's greatest movie. However, as with all of his films, it is certainly not bad and I was interested in the characters and the development of the plot right up until the end. Acting-wise, the three stars, Gable, Lana Turner and Victor Mature do a fine job with Turner looking almost unrecognisable from earlier roles. If you're a Turner or Gable fan I'm sure you would enjoy this movie but the film has enough drama, tension and intrigue to keep you interested anyway!
